  • Great interviewer

    One of the best interviews with Ken Wilber I’ve ever heard. Interviewer is incredibly personable, well informed, and engages with Wilber and his material in a way that brings out whole new sides of Integral Theory. Wish more interviewers brought this level of professionalism and personality to talks like this. Can’t wait to listen to more!

  • Mind & Heart Opening

    Andrew is a brilliant interviewer and synthesizer of both the ancient wisdom traditions and modern science. These episodes have regularly stopped me in my tracks, softening my heart and blowing open the doors of my mind. Impossible to pick favorite episodes, but I loved the 2-part interview with Christopher Bache. No exaggeration to say it was a life changer. Do listen!
