“As a lay Buddhist practitioner, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Tao and Buddhism have similar messages. I find that the more I listen to this podcast, my understanding of both Buddhism and Taoism is increasing. What a great gift! Highly recommend for anyone of any faith tradition...”Read full review »

“I will never forget when I found this podcast. It was during a dark period of struggle in my life, and it really got me through some very difficult feelings. This show was and is a godsend. I am so so saddened to hear of Dr Totton’s ill health. I attribute so much of my wisdom and growth to this...”Read full review »

“Been searching for a spiritual paradigm for a few years now, I love Buddhism and Hinduism but Taoism is the one that’s really stuck thanks to these guys!

“I struggled for years to understand Daoism. This podcast helped me to grasp a solid understanding. I love Dr. Carl Totten and Tod Perry’s energy and lightheartedness. They make Daoism fun and assessable. They have lifted my spirits many times in the past 5 years. I miss the show! I wish Dr Totten...”Read full review »

“These guys lost me when Dr Carl started claiming to have supernatural powers and and began writing the “new” chapters of the Tao. I found this podcast very helpful up until that point. Then he started sounding like all of the evangelical charlatans of my childhood. I’m not calling him a charlatan...”Read full review »

“I believe I could write a review for each episode.

Alan Watts had a chat where he...”Read full review »

“I’ve listened for years and this is overall a great show, but occasionally (and more often lately), Dr Totton’s ego has been showing up, and he spends some time patting himself on the back, and trying to impress us. Starting to remind me a little of Neil DeGrasse Tyson’s love of himself and...”Read full review »
