A Skeptic’s Guide To Meditation: Bob Roth On The Science & Extreme Benefits of Transcendental Meditation
Bob Roth is one of America's most experienced meditation teachers and executive director of The David Lynch Foundation. This conversation explores the intersection of ancient transcendence and modern necessity. We discuss Bob's 50+ year practice, David Lynch's final words about happiness, the neuroscience of "effortless meditation," and why accessing the fourth state of consciousness isn't a luxury, it's survival technology for the age of AI. He shows how 20 minutes rewires your brain, cuts cortisol by up to 40%, and unlocks "unbounded awareness." Bob democratizes transcendence. This is meditation without the mysticism. Enjoy!

Walking As Medicine: Craig Mod’s 300-Miles On Foot, Japan's Philosophy Of Enough, & The Profound Power Of Undistracted Presence
Craig Mod is an artist, author, and photographer who has lived in Japan for 25 years, chronicling the country through thousands of miles of recent solo walks. We explore walking as inner cartography—a practice that transforms attention into meaning. We discuss Craig's journey from his best friend's murder in Connecticut to finding home in Tokyo, the ineffable Japanese concept of "yōyū," reconciling adoption trauma through movement, and how 300-mile walks without digital distraction became his path to healing. His story takes a stunning turn when these walks ultimately lead him back to meet his birth mother at 42. Craig transforms heavy into light. And this conversation reveals how. Enjoy!

Working It Out With Mike Birbiglia: Comedy & Creativity, Podcasting & The Pope
Mike Birbiglia is a master storyteller, acclaimed comedian, and the creative force behind Netflix specials including "The Old Man & the Pool" and his newest, "The Good Life." This conversation explores the quiet architecture of story—how to shape it, live it, and share it in a way that matters. We talk about finding empathy for the parents who couldn’t fully show up, embracing feedback without losing your voice, and why the creative process might just be as simple and profound as “letting your brain go for a walk.” It’s not about performance. It’s about presence. Mike illuminates our shared humanity. This conversation is medicine for our divided times. Enjoy!
