Buddhist Geeks Blast Off!

In July 2006 I began conducting interviews at zaadz out of curiosity, love and a deep need to listen to/share people's stories.  Jake was the first brave soul to undergo the knife.  I decided to do one interview a month because they were popular, people were learning more about their community and I loved talking with zaadzsters on an intimate level.   And I was actually pretty good at interviewing people.

Toward the end of '06, two incredibly friendly, funny guys, Ryan Oelke and Vince Horn, sat down and dialogued with me to hammer out a mission statement for Buddhist Geeks, a podcast-blog (plog) that launched today.  You can hear our first podcast conversation together here.  Do yourself a flavor:  subscribe.  If you just opened up a new tab and are now listening to the mood-setting intro music, thank c4 for that.  And thank yourself for tuning in.

I love the way, with three voices in this podcast, instead of just me/the interviewee, you get a fuller picture of our mission, a nice round chorus feeling.  With a couple of funny solos.  (No, not to worry, nobody farts.  Ryan, our audio guru would have edited it out anyway, savvy?)

We'll post one interview podcast a week, and two blog posts a week, to keep things fresh and the discourse rolling.  Keep your eyes and ears open for some ideas that will stimulate, elucidate and elevate you late into the night.  Rawk.  Buddhistgeeks.com.  This ain't your average Dharma Lite.
