- Society & Culture
On the Zensylvania podcast, your host Eric Adriaans explores Motorcyle Zen, Tai Chi and other activities that result in what he calls the Zensylvania state of mind. Zensylvania was inspired by three books: Robert Pirsig's Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, Alfred North Whitehead's Process and Reality and The Zen Teachings of Homeless Kodo. So you can count on a whole lot of time spent on those books. But along the way, the podcast will include original fiction, poetry, philosophy, interviews and any content that fits the bill.
