- Enlightening
I’ve enjoyed listening to James Shaheen interview Ocean Vuong, Pico Iyer, Kaira Jewel Lingo and Jake Garfield. He formulates intriguing questions and draws out his interviewees. I am moved to make a donation (Dana).

The episode mentioned above was not good. The speaker droned on and on about minuta and trivia.
Tip to all future speakers, just because you find something fascinating, don’t assume your audience also finds it fascinating.

at least she worked with Roshi Joan

I am grateful that Sharon and James are so generous with their time. I am in a tight financial situation and these episodes are often a lifeline to sanity for me. Thank you. I also deeply appreciate the “outside wisdom” from non-practicing or Buddhist adjacent folks like Oliver Burkeman. I often find their insight more potent than the more “experienced” guests. They consistently provide Beginner’s Mind with care and sincerity. I also would like to give a shoutout to Jay Garfield specifical... more

I was greatly disappointed to hear Kimberly Brown reference the work of Byron Katie in an approving manner. Byron Katie has caused harm and suffering to victims of abuse. Byron Katie is the worst example of a new age charlatan and I didn’t expect to hear her promoted on a Tricycle podcast.
