Big Skies and Small Ponds… with Drew Baxter.

Come in… sit a while.

This is a storytelling podcast with quiet reflections, real moments and the sort of thoughts that tend to arrive when life slows down.



Each episode is a chapter - a small pond holding a very big sky.

Stories drawn from real life — from memory, from people and from the moments that shape us.


Some are gently humorous, some are thoughtful, and some may touch on grief, love, and what it means to be human.

There’s no rush...just come in and see what you find.

Warm wishes....Drew Baxter

    A childhood memory. A distant tragedy.

    Seven stars in the night sky. A light passing silently overhead.


    In this final chapter of the first series, Drew reflects on horizons, wonder, perspective and the curious way understanding often arrives long after the moment itself.


    A gentle journey beneath the skies that shaped him, and a return to the small pond where all his stories begin.

    This Chapter is dedicated to the memory of those 18 people who died in the crash of USAF Aircraft 67-006 on 28 August 1976.

    Chapter Nine – The Ceiling Tile


    In 2009, Drew found himself lying on a hospital trolley, staring at a cracked ceiling tile and wondering if it might be the last thing he would ever see.


    It wasn't.


    In this deeply personal chapter, he reflects on illness, recovery, second chances and the unexpected gift of what he now thinks of as bonus time.
    A story about survival, gratitude and discovering that life can become richer when you realise it was never guaranteed in the first place.


    This chapter includes reflections on serious illness and a heart attack.

    Chapter Eight – The Sea


    Some places stay with us forever.
    For Drew, it's the sea.


    From childhood days on the Norfolk coast to standing beside the Pacific Ocean, from rivers and books to cruise ships and poetry, this chapter explores a lifelong fascination with water and the journeys it inspires.


    A reflective voyage through memory, wonder, belonging and the people we meet along the way.


    Because sometimes the places we return to aren't places at all.
    They're feelings.
