“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.”

“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 »

“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 »

“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 »

“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 »

“Great angle on Buddhism, wonderful interviews, and interesting topics.
