    Car Talk for Zen
    I mean this in the absolute nicest way possible, listening to Jundo and Kirk is like listening to Car Talk, but instead of about mufflers it’s meditation. Have listened to every episode in full and will continue to do so. P.S. I love Jundo’s singing.

    Non-Bias Teaching, 10 thumbs up!
    I love this podcast for its dynamics between the 2 hosts, non-bias teaching of Zen, and topic based on daily life events. There is often partial view in any kind of religion commentators, practitioners, and participants. However, I love so much about this podcast is the talks being so honest, without any attempt to cover anything imperfect or unideal in Zen practices or practitioners. It’s so good to have this podcast exist. Thank you guys for making this wonderful program.

    Zen & Yoga
    I love listening to this podcast on my way to yoga practice. Jundo and Kirk put me in a good frame of mind without letting me get too serious about myself. Thank you.

    Great Podcast!
    These guys are a joy to listen to. Jundo makes me laugh. I always look forward to new episodes. Very down to earth discussions.

    Zen of Everything
    Good 👌🏽clears things up for me, adds dimensions and gets me closer to mu. Lots of Zen experience and insight with a nice helping of humor. Who says Zen has to be so serious! Love these guys. Definitely worth the listen.
  • belleofell
    the knowledge!
    learning while listening to this podcast is as easy as breathing! the conversations had are things everyone can relate to, as well as implement into daily life. i smile while listening.

    Down to Earth. Get Real Zen
    The real thing. These guys get Buddhism and definitely don't take themselves too seriously. Sooooo refreshing in a landscape full of sincere folks that seem to take themselves too seriously.. They also have a website where anyone can join the conversation. My Roshi died a few years back, and I am finding it very hard to form another attachment. Maybe this group is the next growth step in Buddhism. All the teaching with lots of commom sense.

    A little laugh and a little Zen
    I appreciate this Podcast. Life is so serious and it seems like it gets more so each day..sometimes it’s nice to sit back, have a brief laugh about it all, and then learn some Zen perspective along the way. Each episode has a laughing point and a lesson. These guys make my day better!

    Thank You!
    This podcast brings me so much joy. As I've been interested in learning more about Zen, I have frequently been off put by the stiffness of other resources. This podcast keeps it light while also being a no-nonsense approach. Thank you both so much.
  • Bylongytrsvhh
    Absolutely the best
    As a person who relies on books and podcasts for their teaching, I can honestly say that this is the most realistic, unpretentious, and “positive” podcast I’ve ever come across.
  • J. Rot
    Great for Life
    Although I am a Zen practitioner this podcast is full of wonderful information for anyone looking for a bit of direction. I’ve listened to a ton of other options and this one is far and away the best out there.
  • Dr Double E
    Great for Zen living

    Great podcast on Zen practice!
    Very good down-to-earth discussion of what can be esoteric topics. Helps me feel comfortable in my imperfect practice.
