“Love the show. Great interviews. My top favorite so far is the January 11, 2024 with David Doyle. I hope Rick and David get back together to continue their conversation. Thank you.”

“Everything about this show is just so needed, and I’m so grateful I found it many many moons ago. I tell lots of people to jump on in, and I’m delighted that Rick and Irene are still going with it. It’s such a treasure chest of insight and direct experience with all forms and of course the...”Read full review »

“I keep listening to this podcast, but it’s so hit or miss. So many spiritual grifters are given a voice. In one latest episode the person wrote nooks that seemed plagiarized from older sources like Manly Hall and claims to run an NGO, but the website for it lauds or publishes no concrete recent...”Read full review »

“Been listening for years, and this podcast is really the pinnacle of spiritual seeker type interview programs. Approaching 600 now host Rick Archer has a Transcendental Meditation background and personally knew Maharishi Mahesh Yogi (The Beatles guru). Earlier interviews (started 2009) were with...”Read full review »

At my age, staying grounded in a sense of knowing that there is so much more to life than...”Read full review »

“I’m consistently baffled by the hosts lack of knowledge about Buddhism.
He seems to not understand the basics.
For a podcast with Buddha in the title, you’d expect him to quote the sutras, rather than consistently mentioning the Gita, etc.
From a Buddhist standpoint, much of what he says...”Read full review »

“This show is still good despite the fact that Rick hasn’t learned much over the years about interview style. He still likes to interject his own story and history to the guests and forgets that frequent listeners have heard it over and over again. I can almost repeat what he’s going to say about...”Read full review »

It also feels wonderful to hear and see there are so many people experiencing and thinking about these things. It makes us feel part of a community somehow.

“The host’s voice is so annoying I can’t even listen to the interesting guests. He sounds very immature. He has no eloquence while speaking, which makes it difficult to listen. His podcast with Kavitha Chinnaiyan could’ve been fascinating, if it was just her speaking. Within four minutes he...”Read full review »
