  • The ups and downs of retreats
  • Some famous Buddhist listicles, including the five hindrances
  • The importance of repetition
  • We'll hear snippets of Joseph answering Dan's questions
  • We find out what "cowboy dharma" is
  • What it feels like to wear shit colored glasses
  • How to stop getting caught in a mind trap
  • And lastly, we listen to voicemails and answer audience questions!
