Dear All,
In a couple of weeks, we will be kicking off a new podcast that, I think, is very different from anything in the Buddhist world right now ... OR FOR THE LAST 2500 YEARS! And I need your suggestions.
The podcast will eventually be here (not yet) ...
... and will be co-hosted by me and our long time (12+ years) Treeleaf member, and the host/producer of several other successful podcasts, Kirk McElhearn. It was Kirk's idea (so blame him!)
The basic premise is simple:
Each episode will take readers' questions on ALMOST ANY TOPIC ... even things (which is most things) that I admittedly know little or nothing about ...
... stuff like baseball (I know nothing ... there are 3 bases, yes?), love relationships (a mystery to me, especially these days), sex advice (I know something, but according to my wife, really I know nothing), astro-physics (just what Dr. Tyson says on Youtube), finance (market goes up ... or down), fitness and health issues (I know nothing, see a doctor), car repairs (I can change a tire), politics (I know that things are crazy) ...
... and I will proceed to answer anyway, probably not saying too much truly practical or useful (especially because I know nothing) ...
... but always putting a "Zen" twist on each of them, bringing in thousands of years of Wisdom and Compassion ...
... thus making things right, clarifying all timeless mysteries of the universe, saving marriages and saving the planet, fixing your car and Washington, solving all the other problems in the world and peoples's lives ...
... even though I know nothing.
Along the way, we will laugh and cry together, and celebrate this strange world and the human condition. We will push some boundaries, make people smile or come after us with burning torches, and hopefully speak some sense. It is very simple (and Kirk will keep our feet down to earth.)
Please shoot us some questions (either here or privately by PM) with whatever concerns you, serious or not so serious. Some samples might include:
- Who would win, Batman or Spiderman, in a head to head duel?
- What will be the effect of Brexit on the French GDP?
- I just got a bad diagnosis from my doctor, I am scared, how do I handle this?
- My girlfriend snores all night ... should I leave her, love her, or just buy ear plugs?
- Where do we go when we die? Where should I go on vacation?
... anything and everything at all!
The name of the new podcast will be:

The parts that you don't understand, you can just make up and invent, no problem.
