It is always made clear that these are run by volunteers, not mental health professionals and you sign a waiver with regard to your mental health. I’ve found that to be true at all the other vipassana and meditation centres of all hues… you are responsible

Good coverage about the ‘QatarGate’. Looking forward to when you will cover the Israeli genocide and the powers that be receiving money from Aipac and the likes and enabling genocide.
I just listened to the full series in one binge. Extraordinary story that is very well told. It gives the listener a place on the FT’s investigative team as it explores the monumental shortcomings of the European Parliament’s safeguards against corruption - and how MEPs take advantage of that lacuna. Love the narrative voice of Rosie Pop.
Excellent investigation. Thank you for putting light to the facts and being so upfront. Great podcast.
