Welcome to my podcast, I Will Read for You: The Voice and Writings of Jaiya John. Voice medicine to soothe your soul, from poet, author, and spoken word artist Dr. Jaiya John. Bedtime bliss. Morning meditation. Daytime peace. Comfort. Calm. Soul food. Come, gather around the fire. Let me read for you…

Sacred Conversations are periodic episodes of my podcast in which I reach out to people whose work and life inspire me, and we simply have an old fashioned phone conversation. No video. No scripted, transactional, extractive, one-sided interview dynamic. Just two people with a care and curiosity for each other’s journey, asking each other soulful questions, and enjoying the ancient, mutually healing art of listening deeply. Again, not an interview. A spiritual communion. The idea is for us to relax and enjoy an organic conversation, like over tea or breaking bread, and get to know each other along the way.

Spotify. Apple. All the places podcasts roam.

“Jaiya John’s podcast is like being held by a mountain, bathed by a river and sipping molasses all at the same time. It’s that good.”
- Laura Plumb

“His poetry will speak straight to your spirit. His voice is like a hot spring in winter (no exaggeration). Recommended for revolutionary recalibration and radical hearts that need soothing. The kind of self care and inspiration we need to keep momentum.”
- Harty Tilton Kelley

“I had the pleasure of listening to your podcast today for the first time. Your voice permeates my being like you’re beside me. It’s a bit unreal. Your writings are beyond powerful, some feel as though they were written for me. You are a gift unto the earth. Thank you for your vibration.”
- Antoinette Leis

”What better way to receive the medicine of Jaiya’s words, than to hear the words from his own lips as he speaks? Medicine for my soul. A new category of its own — as i listen to these medicine words — consciousness and breath — and words to soothe my soul.”
- Naomi Burgess

“Your voice is calming and inspiring at the same time. Welcome moments of calm in the middle of my day.”
- Liz Hickok
