  • Black students can’t handle no-self? Seriously?

    What a infantilising take that is. Was Thích Quàng Dúc too oppressed to handle that insight? Being an oppressed person and a Buddhist is not at all uncommon.

  • Glaring mistake in otherwise excellent show

    This podcast is great. An enjoyable way to keep abreast of new scholarly books on the subject.

    Adding the ‘Imperfect Buddha’ podcast to the network is clearly a major misstep. I hope that, in the future, nBn continues its excellent programming of interviews with scholars, and does not continue in this new direction of featuring editorialized rantings and over-blown musings.

  • Audio Quality

    This is a great podcast, but the quality of the audio is horrible. I think most of their interviews are done over Skype, leaving the audio quality uneven and tinny. During the last episode it sounded like the author was rubbing fabric on the microphone. These kinds of sounds are painful when heard through earbuds. I want to listen to this very interesting podcast, but almost every time I can’t get through it because of the audio quality.
