“This podcast is right up my alley. I love the guests and the perspectives they bring to this topic. My only complaint is that I wish the show was longer. With 30-40 minutes per interview there isn’t enough time to delve too deep into some topics. Long form interviews would provide more expansive...”Read full review »

“I listened to the first six episodes of the show and found the content and discussions engaging and thought-provoking. What I found difficult was the noise that overwhelms the discussions to the point that one must strain to hear what the speakers are saying. I'm not sure why Ted decided to hold...”Read full review »

“I had been looking for something like this for a while. It features a broad range of conversations, and it's not too goody goody, which some of the other Buddhist podcasts tend to be. Thanks!”

“This is such a wonderful example of how different philosophies can complement one another, and another example (although not the only) of how one might be both spiritual and an atheist. Thank you for the great podcast Ted!”

“Think about it, secular Buddhism is a watered down philosophy that demands justice and ethics but rejects absolute morality and absolute truth. The two ideas are not compatible, but keep searching!”

“Very open-minded discussions! Secular Buddhist's host Ted Meissner finds BUddhist teachers and Buddhist practitioners from all different sects and groups, often professionals in science, journalism and other secular disciplines. I don't think I'm exactly a secular Buddhist---I'm learning in the...”Read full review »

“This podcast makes an attempt to put a new coat of paint on traditional buddhism to make it more palatable. I wish it had more female guests....at times it feels like guys talking to guys...”

“Listening the Ted Meissner and his guests is to the brain what healthy organic food and daily exercise are to the whole body. It stimulates and satisfies. I was introduced to The Secular Buddhist podcast a week ago, listened to 5 episodes in one afternoon, and fell in love with Episodes 8 and 9,...”Read full review »

“I have been listening to Ted Meissner's Secular Buddhist podcast for about six months. I have found it to be an excellent resource for Buddhist philosophy and practice with a clear and ever-present attentiveness to a skeptical/scientifically-based philosophy on Mr. Meissner's part. It is this...”Read full review »

“It's so enjoyable to listen to these discussions of themes I've long been interested in.
As a skeptical atheist and firm believer in the principals and practices of early Buddhist teachings, apart from the religious assertions that have accumulated over time, Ted Meissner's approach is...”Read full review »

“I have long been interested in Buddhism as an approach to living, but I always tripped up on the supernatural trappings. I just couldn't buy into the gods and demons and reincarnated lamas that I had to wade through to get down to the essence of the philosophy.
It was such a pleasant surprise...”Read full review »

From labels, how we use them and lose them, to coming out of the irreligious closet, to interviews...”Read full review »

“This podcast is an excellent way to explore Buddhist philosophy apart from any supernatural trappings. Ted is a wonderful host, with a voice and manner made for radio (and podcasting).”
