The Quintessential Poetry podcast is currently on hiatus and is not accepting guest requests. Quintessential Poetry is an award‑nominated global poetry and spoken word podcast featuring poets, storytellers, performers, and creative writers from around the world. Established in 2018, the show blends performance with reflective conversation, offering listeners meaningful insights into identity, healing, culture, and the human experience. Hosted by Dr. Michael Anthony Ingram—a four‑time Pushcart Prize–nominated poet, retired professor of Counselor Education, and internationally respected spoken word artist—the podcast is known for its warm, grounded, and emotionally attuned interviews. Each episode highlights global poetic voices and the cultural stories behind their work, creating a thoughtful, performance‑driven space for poetry enthusiasts, spoken word poetry performers, cultural storytellers, and audio creatives alike. With thousands of downloads and listeners across more than a dozen countries, Quintessential Poetry has become one of the most widely heard poetry podcasts in the world—a global stage where performance, reflection, and lived experience take center spotlight. With more than 500 episodes, the show has consistently ranked among the top poetry podcasts worldwide, including multiple #2 placements on 2024 global lists and top rankings on Goodpods, Player.fm, Ivy.fm, and the NYC World Podcast Network. Quintessential Poetry has also earned nominations in the Best Arts & Culture categories across major podcasting awards in 2025 and 2026.
