  • Mining the Psyche

    This podcast presents perhaps the most consistent & insightful topics & guests around psychology, imagination, creativity & personal change. Even when I think a topic or guest will not be of interest, if I give Brian a few minutes, I nearly always get pulled in. Highly recommended.

  • Ooph

    Episode 131 deserves a do over. Rife with faulty reasoning. So in a hurry to disavow the west that says something like Christianity doesn't have concepts around death and rebirth. Several other baffling moments like this. There is simply no need to prop up one's cartoon version of one culture as a device to aggrandize another culture.

  • Thank You Brian

    So happy to have found the Medicine Path with Brian James. I find that the topics he covers and guests interviewed really align with what I’m interested in uncovering.

  • I Love This Podcast

    Brian is an open, knowledgeable podcast host who seems committed to providing a deep look into how we all step around those blurred lines between psychology, sociology and culture, and spirituality. It's not a fluffy podcast. I listen when I have time to pay close attention.

    It's valuable. I'm grateful.

  • Very informative show from an educated and balanced perspective

    There is a lot to be learned in this Podcast, Brian is knowledgeable and has clearly been in this path for awhile and done the work. He has a very balanced perspective and is very good at engaging the guests (which are very awesome) in articulate and deep conversations on the subject of spiritual development. It is refreshing to listen to someone who is seeking and doesn’t have a big ego nor a personal agenda.
