Diego Orlando's Podcast

   Our hope is that this podcast is an aid to those searching for that place where there is soothing comfort, encouragement, and quiet contemplation (not too quiet, or you'll be napping). In short, a buffering place for the soul, lodged between the typical stressors that surround us. Providing a gap that could allow us to avoid them, altogether, going forward. This is our singular aim, sharing mes...

When seeds underground sense the warmth of the sun above, they press through the soil and deliver their verdant treasures, out from the surface of the earth. And we also, press up through pain, discouragement, and sometimes loss. To find a new Spring season for our own life. It, unfortunately, means rain, flooding, and maybe strong gusts that upset things we thought were stable. But it's bringing...

Something tells me that you may have had some setbacks, or problems lately. If so, just remember that you still have what it takes to turn the tide. I'm sure your hope and determination will outlast that trend, no matter how grim it looks. You're still breathing. Stay positive, and let yourself connect with the vibes contained in this BONUS journey. This one goes a little longer than the usual 1 h...

"How could that happen?", we say. Suffering is inevitable. But, don't think that you're all alone! This is what this episode is saying to you. It's meant to give you a bit of joy, but it has some parts that will make you cry, also. Let it flow. And eventually, the sun also rises! -Diego

The old adage "Help me to have Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change what I can, and the Wisdom to know the difference", is surely thoughtful discourse. And this journey should help you contemplate, as well as concentrate, on these things. So, join me in the relentless search for Serenity. -Diego

Friends, if you are reading this, you've made it into the New Year. Maybe we barely made it, but that's something, at least. If you're wondering what's in store, then welcome to the group! I choose to believe that good times are soon to be revealed. It's a hunch, but I'm banking on this. One thing that works is listening to this journey, which is given to you as a down payment of better things on...

I cannot express to you more clearly, to never, EVER let your hope be lost. In the pain, the difficulties, and the loss of precious possessions and even loved ones. Don't let hope for better times leave you, my dear friend. It will carry you through, to the next chapter in your life. And afterwards, a lesson awaits your wondering heart, that will assure you that  you were protected, though tested....

A change in the climate, as in warmer weather, is happening in the Northern hemisphere. Truly, the seasons are constant even though we get storms, we can expect some sunny days. I hope you know that I remain positive, even as world events make our forecasts a little bit scary. And these storms, though damaging, cannot destroy our future success, as long as we believe in our shared hope. Yes, that...

You question your chances and look for answers. Please, don't listen to negative messages. If anything, block out everything, until you can see the dawn of a new day, rising over the mountain ridge right ahead of you. When you prevail, it means that you persevered past that challenge. No matter what happens, your growth is worth all the effort. Strive and rise!

Let boldness lead you through the hard days. Starting a new task can be a challenge that you'd rather not have to face. Once you catch a glimpse of the end goal, however, will make it seem less overwhelming. And you will find confidence knowing that someone who believes in you is always beside you. Break those barriers! - Diego

This past year has taken its toll. Let everyone start looking at life as a gift we can give to one another. REALLY. If we want to live a life that matters, we have to. Think of a better, world by our making a better US first. I hope listening to the journey this week will do that for you. -Diego

Never question your value, though at times we may question the decisions we've made. The Universe will balance itself, and we all have a chance at redemption. If only we realized it, we would be brave enough to grasp it. This Journey is meant to spawn that hope. To all who live in it, Let's Go! -Diego

Yes, We go as far as we dare to go. To make your day a happy one, to put some pep in your step, and hopefully a smile on your face. -Diego

You will certainly face challenges whenever new events happen. They can usher in a host of problems and stresses. Take the time to survey what you're up against. Then determine what you can, and should, do. Set your goals on what really matters, then make a game plan. Now, you are in control, and not just helpless. -Diego

Don't let difficult times drag your spirit down. You can only do so much to fix the problems that arise. Never doubt yourself. Keep striving. -Diego

The message of this Journey is simple, "Keep hope alive!" You will live to see a better day. -Diego

This Journey notes the passing of Jazz pianist Lyle Mays on Feb. 10th 2020. We feature much of his work in the show, and will continue doing so, because of it's creativity and passion. In this spirit, may you find a peace that remains vibrant. In honor of the artists who leave their mark here on Earth, before ascending to heaven. My best to you. -Diego

Living things need both sunshine and rain. So here we've mixed the lively selections along with the more mellow, laid back ones. It can keep you guessing, but isn't that more fun? You bet! -Diego

We're embarking on a journey with beauty, artistry, and energy! And you are the reason it continues. Experience the unparalleled best music mix, and you'll return for more!

What's black and white with 88 keys? You got it! Our journey is full of piano and/or organ and/or guitar infused selections. You'll catch the connections, and hopefully have an inspiring trip with the artists we are featuring this week. Let's go Figure 8! -Diego

When the skies above bring clouds of rain, don't ponder about the drip and drop of water on your window pane. Look out and see the green earth springing to life, how precious and new! - Diego

We take a moment to give Christmas wishes for joy, wonder, and peace for the days to come. Love the ones that are dear to you. - Diego

Some of the tunes you hear are from familiar artists, and some are from unknown talent. But I'm very sure that the mix is keeping up a smooth flow. Add just a dash of soulful R & B vibe, oh yeah! We specialize in threading the musical needle of taste and tone. -Diego

Nothing too turbulent or seismic to upset the mellow mood. No,this journey is the epitome of a gentle flow of sound, for your senses to float upon. Later episodes will pound and shake the mountains off of their bases but this one soothes the savage beast within. Chill baby! -Diego
