What is The Poetry Vessel Podcast?

The Poetry Vessel Podcast is a video podcast that explores creativity, consciousness, and—of course—poetry. Hosted by Malibu Poet Laureate ‘23-’25, Nathan Hassall, and co-created with his wife, Rachael, a CX strategist and expert in Industrial-Organizational Psychology, the podcast brings together voices from across multiple disciplines—poets, neuroscientists, musicians, psychologists, and more—to examine how language, emotion, and art shape the way we experience the world.

Listeners are also invited to become part of the dialogue. We accept poetry submissions from around the globe, featuring selected works in each episode as a springboard for reflection, conversation, and discovery.
