The Drop the Needle Podcast

by Jim Alstott

The Drop the Needle Podcast is a series of honest, open conversations built around three things that shape how we live: spirituality, mindset, and music. Host Jim Alstott sits down with teachers, healers, doctors, therapists, coaches, and artists to explore the spiritual side of life — and to show that being spiritual isn't "weird," it's human. We get into modalities like meditation, sound healing, and reflective writing, plus traditional and alternative approaches to health and mental health. And because we all carry a soundtrack, every guest shares the songs that shaped them. The goal: take the fear and mystique out of these subjects so you feel free to explore — and show how weaving them into daily life pays off, personally and professionally. New episodes every week. Subscribe and drop the needle with us. Also on YouTube. Guest & business inquiries: jim@dtnpodcast.com

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I enjoy listening to this podcast - the host has interesting guests and is good at engaging in conversation - it is like sitting down with friends to have a conversation - he is humble. As someone who now listens to vinyl and is discovering more music over the past few years his questions at the end for the guests and how specific songs have influenced them has been insightful and helped me discover more songs and helping me expand my understanding of music .
