I found Micheal Franti on Spotify a couple of years ago and wow. His music and messages always blow my mind. I recently lost a friend to suicide and Micheal's music really pulled my through and brought me to a better place myself Thank you for this podcast which reminds me that at the end of the day, we are all just humans and need to stay human A

so much wisdom on music, wellness, really everything! thanks, michael :)

I was excited for this when I read this: The FOLLOW YOUR HEART tour is about listening to the voice inside you, being your authentic self, and building community, so together we can let go, dance, celebrate life, hit the reset button and walk out feeling a little bit taller!!! I was excited until I emailed the venue in Maine, closest to me regarding restrictions for your outdoor concert there on July 1. Discrimination is what I got in reply to my inquiry. I have been "following my heart", DEEPLY listening to the voice inside me (for all of my adult life actually), building community...but looks like doing so at concerts is still not an option for an individual like me. We have been starving for live shows by artists we love....starving to do what is in orange above, with one of my favorite artists and all of the beautiful people who attend...I have been at a few shows where you have pulled me and my daughters up on stage, hugged us, danced with us, and never for a second did I ever think you would want to not be near anyone in the HUMAN race. I'm deeply saddened to see that you're not actually doing what your statement says. I have wonderful memories of your shows and the fun times my daughters and I had together at them. I wish you blessings and peace and love, AND I wish for you to open your heart and mind to EVERYONE. You stand for freedom and love and inclusion. Or do you?

I found Michael Franti through a review of someone writing about my music and comparing my message to his. Unfortunately, my music knowledge was not deep enough for me to discover Michael Franti. My mind is blown because I can now hear someone that I resonate with on my music journey. I Give Thanks to the Universe for my discovery of Michael Franti, his message and his podcast.

Really do enjoy getting to know human stories. Reminds me of what it means to be and stay human. Thank you for the vibes

Thanks for being so cool and letting us listen in… way to bring positivity to the world. We appreciate you!

I love how raw and honest this podcast feels. Thank you for not over-producing. Love hearing Michael’s raw and real convos with such amazing guests.

Michael is awesome!! What I appreciate too is the consistent info and links in the show notes and that everyone on the podcast team gets credited. Top notch BTS!!

First of all, I love Michael Franti - his vibe is peace-loving, kind, and caring. He doesn’t stray from this during the podcast, at all, not even for a second. He asks deep and thoughtful questions and he listens carefully to the response from his guest. He doesn’t interrupt and shift the conversation to be about himself. He guides his guest in a focused manner and allows space for that person to think and share themselves fully!! Great podcast! Timely, inspiring, and real!! Keep up the great work, Michael!!

Hi Michael! Thanks for featuring one of my Colombian peeps!! I loved the episode with Bomba Estereo! I especially loved Simon’s perspective that the most important thing to teach each other is empathy - empathy for ourselves, for others and for nature! Simon you make me proud and now I’m going to love your music too! Once you are at Soulshine Bali, I’m coming too!!

I just listened to the Dyana Williams episode. It was such a beautiful intro to Dyana and that energy was given right back to Michael. Such a wonderful exchange. I host a podcast where I interview Entertainment professionals and there is so much to learn from Michael. Such an easy going conversation between host and guest.

Michael is an awesome human and has put together an awesome podcast interviewing other awesome humans. What's not to love?! Blown away by the episodes and take away super helpful lessons with each episode. Rockstar podcast (get it?)

Love the new episode with Manuel & Patricia Oliver 💛

Been listening to him since I discovered him on an online Belgium radio station at least 16 years ago. Change is often inspired by music! He’s right up there with Lennon, Marley, and Richie Havens!

Michael Franti is a real human and its easy to see that what you see is what you get. The great thing is either the folks he’s interviewing are like that too or he brings it out of them. Music that is conscience verses I say commercial just meant to sell records is healing and touches your should in so many ways and on so many levels. Dare I say conscience music is spiritual and it is what Michael Franti makes and so far the podcast guests I’ve listed to they do to.

Really enjoying the show!

What a fun, authentic, heartfelt and sometimes hilarious interview with Pat from Train. Like a double scoop of your favorite I’ve cream, Michael and Pat, two of my all time favs! Thank you Michael! Huge fan, can’t wait to see you again🙏✌️

Hey, Michael Franti continues to deliver authentic heartfelt communication. No surprise there! We want more !!!! Blessings and gratitude for the light along the path. Stay Human, stay healthy. One World 🔥 ♥️

Always enjoy everything Michael Franti does! Enjoyed the interview with Nattali Rize and will check out her music. Thank you! Love and am looking forward to more of the positivity you put into the world!

The world needs more more more... Thank you Michael. ✌🏽💚 #StayHuman

Love Michael Franti anytime, any way, any how! What the world needs now....

Happy to have such a positive and uplifting podcast during these crazy times!

Franti is a man who lives intentionally. His music, and now his podcast, shows this intentional living. You’ll find true inspiration here, not just bs. He’s not afraid to be real, vulnerable, and down to earth, even though he’s still urging us all to be compassionate and open. Plus, everything with Franti revolves around music. There’s always somewhere new to go in this journey of life, and music helps us do that. This podcast reflects Franti’s genuine respect for people and reverence for their stories.

Thank you Michael for bringing us this podcast just when we needed more of you most! So many great stories & a wide variety of artists that anyone can enjoy! #stayhuman
