Great podcast that deserves more followers

This is a great podcast with excellent sound quality and even better dharma talks that don't get mired in abstractions. Whenever I miss Deer Park, I listen to this podcast.

New practitioner

I am new to the Deer Park Monastery and unfortunately my personal life does not always allow time to attend the weekly Dharma Talks so this is a fantastic way to still be connected in the community. There are some great talks on mindfulness and guided meditation.
