Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 166 - KOANHEADS
Q: Damien, how do Koans function for you in daily practice?
Koans distill complex questions into a single, direct inquiry that cuts through ordinary thinking, demanding a lived demonstration of enlightenment rather than mere philosophical chatter.
Episode 160 - Keith Slettedahl
Q: What gets you sober and why do you get sober?
Keith describes a moment of stepping forward for help, realising sobriety was necessary long before the decision was made, and citing a combination of desperation, support from his family, and a commitment to one‑day‑at‑a‑time practice as the transforming factors.
Episode 160 - Keith Slettedahl
Q: So we're getting into that in a minute. But for now, how does Ray Davies hear about you? How does the legend hear about you, and how does this offer to be his backup band occur?
Keith explains that early recognition came from the band's own work and being compared to the Kinks, which led to a breakthrough opportunity when Ray Davies noticed them and later invited them to tour as his backup band and open for him, a process that involved submitting songs and proving their fit.
Episode 152 - Ruthanna Halprin Hopper
Q: Speaking of which, actually, I mean, do you mind me discussing where we met?
The discussion centers on how a chance encounter, the body, and ritual led to a deep, evolving connection and how synchronicities can guide creative partnerships.
Episode 155 - Bob Roth Interviews Jaymee
Q: How did your early life and adversity shape your current work as a spiritual teacher?
She explains how overcoming abuse, family instability, and addiction led to a commitment to integrity, service, and creating spaces for others to awaken, culminating in leadership roles at rehab centers and now private practice.
