Welcome to the first episode of the Tarka Journal Podcast. In this podcast, Stephanie Corigliano, Editor-in-Chief of the Tarka Journal and Jacob Kyle, Editorial Director of Embodied Philosophy, will be having conversations with each other and other faculty and friends of Embodied Philosophy about topics and issues from the worlds of yoga philosophy, contemplative studies, and religious and dharma studies. Many of our conversations are inspired by themes we’re exploring in the Tarka Journal as they relate to the experience of the scholar-practitioner.  In our first episode, Stephanie and Jacob talk about the why behind Tarka, what the intentions of the project are, and they also speak a little about the history of working together and how much this project means to them. This episode is a glimpse behind the scenes, and we hope the podcast in general will encourage a sense of community and conversation around the topics explored in the Tarka Journal.
