Great Subjects, Interviewer Less So

“I have almost entirely positive things to say about this podcast: there is a wealth of inspiring and enthralling information coming from nearly all the interview subjects here, each a strong academic voice from a different access point across the yogas. For me, a yoga practitioner of 20+ years, this series of offerings is especially valuable for its serious academic rigor and depth applied to yogic topics where it’s common to hear a glossier, more faith-based approach, adding wonderful dimension to the journey. It’s also guided by a thoroughly respectful tone which sits right with a devotee like myself. Quality of chosen subjects and their topics is strong across the board.
I also find the interviewer a distracting presence for his (rather male-gendered) tendency to bluntly interrupt a subject in the middle of their interesting thought, and it’s doubly distracting to me that it’s *so* much more with female subjects than with the male ones. I noticed it right away and I never fail to find it cringy, clearly the interview subjects do too, and it feels particularly ill-placed on a yogic podcast. The sense is that he’s really excited and just can’t help himself. The interruptions also come attended by “mmm’s” and “uhu’s” which feel like strangulated little suppressions of the urge to burst-in with whatever thought has just arisen irrespective of what is being said at the time, an equally unfortunate unconscious conversational tendency which appears to hound the ladies exponentially more, in a way that seems to warrant further personal examination. I also honor everyone’s unique timeline healing from the ancient toxic masculine element in ours and almost all other cultures and I take no pleasure in any call-out element inherent to the public review process. It was just really prominent and kind of comical and definitely impossible to ignore for me and I suspect I won’t be alone. May all be free from suffering.”

“Amazing podcast. Each speaker discusses a topic that I want to learn about. I have listened to Daniela Bevilacqua which was great, and the Sikhism discussion.”

“I have never been more excited for a podcast. Seth is connected to some of the most fascinating scholars of Indic religions, asceticism, Sanskrit, classical India and yoga studies. While his own burgeoning scholarship begins emanating its light in this world Seth is a stand for the increasing...”Read full review »
