Maggie Smith is the New Host of The Slowdown

Today, we’re thrilled to share that the new host of The Slowdown is Maggie Smith.
We’ll be back in your feeds with new episodes on August 18th.
Poetry is one of the greatest tools we have to wield our own attention. To consider our own lives and the lives of others. To help us live creatively and compassionately. To use that attention to lean into wonder, and joy, and truth, and to find hope. To keep hoping.
The Slowdown was launched nearly seven years ago to find a haven of calm in the middle of this constant storm. Based on the simple idea that reflecting on a poem, every weekday, can connect us to our inner world and the world around us. And hundreds of episodes later, we stay committed to this idea.
