Mark, it was a warm and scintillating conversation among you, Emma and myself. We discovered a lot— such as our two-and-a-half Catholic childhoods, and the varied routes by which we arrived among Friends thereafter. I hope the podcast and the book can be helpful to listeners of many backgrounds find some sustenance and humor, resources which we’ll all need in the coming years.
And PS. Thanks for collecting and passing along a list of typos we missed in the book’s 550 pages. Nobody’s perfect, but we can fix them in the next printing. Keep up your interviews (and editing!)
I am extremely grateful to Mark Helpsmeet for giving me the opportunity to express my voice - to be continued; thank you Mark!! Blessings to you, feeling grateful for having met you 🙏🏽💚☮️
Thank you both for an amazing conversation. It really did feel like listening in on two friends talking.
Rich, I relate so much to some of the things you discussed, particularly wondering about the relevance of making art in these times, your spiritual exploration, and sometimes being musically overscheduled as an introvert but having no regrets about it.
Mark, I loved your questions and perspective. My favorite question was when you asked how Rich and Holly share spirit between them. What you said about the power of experiences that crack you open like an egg really resonated.
I had a wonderful time talking with you, Mark! Like chatting with an old friend. Thanks for the interview and for giving artists this wonderful platform to share more about what's behind our songs.
Leah, How articulate you are, and how informative and inspirational this hour with you on Spirit in Action has been. I knew a lot about FNVW and now I know more, and good to learn more about your life and involvement. I'm sure you'll be just as productive in your new position, PLUS you'll have more time with your kids!

I really enjoyed my wide ranging interview with Mark Helpsmeet about my memoir, Inspired and Outraged: The Making of a Feminist Physician. Thank you!

Great conversation. Loved listening all the through on my walk yesterday. Some of the tunes reminded me of one of my favorite artists: Bruce Cockburn
Congrats, Rich! Thanks, Mark ❣️
