Vince’s true colors on Twitter are a bit too obnoxious for my taste. He’s a prolific finger-wagger and whiner, with plenty of wrong speech.

More left leaning political garbage. Not for me.

Wow
I can’t believe I’m hearing propaganda from a so-called Buddhist podcast. Saying that Obama era was one of peace and prosperity. Really?. The housing crisis, bombing seven countries, building the detention centers for immigrants that are being used, don’t forget Obama was the DePorter in chief. I...Read full review »

i hadn’t planned on listening to this particular episode because i have definitely been on a break from watching and/or listening to more conversations about the tragedy and trauma concerning race in America. I’ve just had enough of giving my attention to the horrific and devastating TELEVISED...Read full review »

Tried listening for as long as I could. Terrible at laying out his words and getting to the point. His ego is too much. Close minded and and doesn’t believe in equality. This guy will argue everything to unnecessary measures over his personal opinion not facts.

I appreciate Vince and Emily Horne, not just as compassionate teachers (introducing me to Hokai Sobel), but also their commitment to inclusion and humility. Newest stuff on Ken Wilber is very promising. Listen to 405. Real deal. Thanks for letting me in the online class for what I could afford...Read full review »

Podcast on tripping and meditation by a guy who says he’s tripped a handful of times? Interview people who have actually been there. Boring. Amateur hour.

I’ve loved listening to this podcast lately. It has introduced me to new ways to approach consciousness.

I have listened to Buddhist Geeks for many years. One of the best podcasts for those interested in secular meditation, psychedelics, and much more. Highly recommended!

Superb content! A rich and deep resource. Just what I was looking for. Thank you 🙏

Listened to every episode; practically enlightened!
Rikard Dahl via Apple Podcasts · Sweden · 02/03/19
This podcast is excellent. It covers a variety of topics around mindfulness as its practice intersects other fields ranging from neurology to ayahuasca. If you are a Buddhist purist, you may object to the idea of such overlap, but I find these discussions broaden my perspective. I am looking...Read full review »

The Buddha, though he didn't think intoxicants were "bad," discouraged their use because they cloud the mind and lead to unwholesome behaviors/states. Encouraging LSD use has nothing to do with what he taught and is potentially harmful, especially to people turning to Buddhism out of...Read full review »

Hmm
I am not very happy about their advocacy of psychedelic drugs. There is a reason why there is a Buddhist precept against this. They say "okay, but meditation can harm you too". The proportion of people harmed by meditation is tiny. The proportion of people who have had psychotic edpisodes...Read full review »

Buddhist Geeks is an intelligent collective of young minds which has a lot of potential to engage with Buddhism is a contemporary way. Over time I have only felt sorrow, seeing that they continue their trend of demonizing traditional practices in favor of 'clever approaches' and personal...Read full review »

5 stars from me for an amazing backlog of very interesting episodes. Newer episodes are few and far between but always interesting :) these guys aren't afraid to explore and push the envelope. It truly is a brave new world where the Dharma and the IoT intersect.Read full review »

I wanted to like this, but it is just not compelling. Seems like an "insy" group of friends - not accessible for those outside the circle.Read full review »

I was delighted to find out there are other people out there with this niche interest. This podcast explores the convergence of science and spiritually in a diverse way, hosting many interesting people from various fields. Vince the host is awesome.
Mike Sh. via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/26/16
In his most recent pocast, "Buddhist Ethics Is a Fraud," Horn and his guest said that they didn't believe in renunciation as a necessary part of Buddhist practice. Given that the Third Noble Truth states clearly, "Cessation of craving brings cessation of suffering," I have to...Read full review »

I have listened to every single Buddhist Geeks episode. Highly recommended for anyone interested in Buddhism.
Jacob Gotwals via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/06/14
Amazing, I've always had an attraction to wisdom as a child, now Buddhist culture. I too wanted to enhance the culture through the use of interfacing with technology. But that was a small idea. It's beautiful to have found that someone has done what I had considered doing. Thank you for...Read full review »

I’ve been listening to Buddhist Geeks for several years. Vince Horn (the host) does a fantastic job of navigating the emerging faces of Buddhism. Each episode is jam-packed with insights and engaging conversation. Well worth your time. My personal practice has deepened immensely as a result of...Read full review »

While the show interviews many people who call themselves Buddhists, the overall message is: the religious side of Buddhism is useless (rituals, beliefs, culture, etc) and one should just learn meditation "techniques." (Mainly the popularized Vipassana Movement -- which is American )...Read full review »

The quality of the show seems good, but the audio quality was unbearable in the latest episode. After a lot of echos and horror movie type sounds in the background especially when the guest was speaking, I just had to turn it off. It's a pity since the topic seemed interesting.Read full review »

Good hosts. Inspiring and insightful guests. Good quality all around, and a nice way to revitalize a practice. Recommended and two thumbs up.
poetrenegade via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/27/12
The host talks too long, most often reiterating points already made. While its clear he is articulate, brevity brings out the soul of wit- neither are on display here.
Michelle Raspa via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/09/12
I soo wanted to love this being a geek and Buddhist. Great guests and great ideas are not enough .... 20 minute podcasts just won't do, you must have more to say if you want my time and donations. Most of my favorite podcast are over two hours each. I will give you five stars so as not to...Read full review »

two minutes of ads to start every episode is a bummer.

I love this podcast! I've been led to many great authors and resources through the many interviews and discussions Vince and co. have had on this show. If you are new to Buddhism like I am you owe it to yourself to check it out. There is no leaning towards any single sect or tradition and all...Read full review »

Great angle on Buddhism, wonderful interviews, and interesting topics. It is, in my opinion, not a skeptical enough delivery of Buddhism for 21st century geeks - we are not just technophiles we also hold science to a higher standards then they did 1 - 2 thousand years ago. If Buddhism is to be...Read full review »

I work a job where i can listen to podcasts all day long.

Unfortunately, my attention span is longer than this podcast seems to want it to be; and at...Read full review »

Engaging and diverse, it touches all the topics that matter in modern life. This podcast really opens the door to expose and connect with so many ideas and teachers out there, otherwise probably not know to you

Buddhism for sale is not buddhism

What a gift! This podcast is incredibly interesting. As a new practioner I am fascinated with all of the different aspects of tradition and how different teachers and science are integrating them. The interviews are very well done with interesting thought provoking questions. After writing this...Read full review »

if you only have time for one Buddhist podcast, this is the one!
ikarrous via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/04/11
They really want to show as many facets of buddhism as possible. The guests are diverse and the questions are honest. They seek perspectives from different generations as well as show how buddhism is making use of current technology and trends.
