Fantastic! We are very fortunate to have this resource available

This is a fantastic podcast and Daniel Aitken makes an excellent host. Incredible range of interviewees and topics. Each episode has fantastic depth. Highly recommend to anyone interested in Buddhism and the application of Buddhist teachings in their own life. Listen to broaden your view and deepen your understanding. Recent episodes with Jeffrey Barstow and Alejandro Chaoul were fantastic, just to name a couple.
