“Eckart Tolle may be the best living teacher of how to quiet your mind and find joy and meaning - I was so glad to find a podcast filled with his wisdom and soft slow words. And yet this podcast has THE most loud and obnoxious ads of any I listen to—and they turn the volume up for them! I had a glimmer of hope that Oprah would add value to bring Tolles peace to society - no, rather than doing anything generous to make his word more accessible, she is the one whose production company chooses the advertisers, the frequency of ads, and of course the volume. What a deep, offensive commentary on Oprah. What a shame Tolle’s gifts can’t be shared with the world in a decent way that doesn’t destroy the product in the process. Oprah, if you care about Tolle’s message, don’t make a profit on it-make a contribution to fund a podcast with his message, unadulterated by the very sort of loud, shrill, consumerist, selfish messages he is trying to save us all from.”
