Well done. You've sorted through the embarrassment of riches that is the modern podcast landscape

and found me Rob Briden on my podcast. In this series of Briden and I talk to among

others Harry Hill, Ben Elton, Charlotte Church, Steve Cougan and Dame Harriet Walter.

And that's just a few. We tend to chat for about 45 minutes to an hour never longer.

It's terrific conversation, reminiscent where appropriate and exchange of anecdotes.

So do join me Rob Briden wherever you get your podcasts. New episodes of Briden and

are available early and ad free on Amazon Music or by subscribing to Wondery Plus in Apple

Podcasts or the Wondery app.

And by the folks who do wisdom 2.0, which is a, in fact, the guy organizes wisdom 2.0.

Soren Gordhammer is a previous guest on this podcast. You can go back and check him out.

But they basically, he basically does these events all in San Francisco, New York and elsewhere,

talking about the overlap between meditation traditions and technology slash business.

So Anderson, that's a long way of saying got pretty into meditation and he's a really, really

fascinating guy. Somebody who I've admired for a long time, I, in fact, right about him

a little bit in 10% happier because when I was hired to, as a 28 year old whippersynapur

to come here to ABC News, I was hired to take his job. He was at that time the anchor of

an overnight broadcast we do. And then I arrived in New York to take his job and he decided

he didn't want to leave. And that's what ultimately allowed me to go on to be a correspondent

for Peter Jennings. So Anderson has played a role in my story and his story is really

fascinating in terms of him being in the front line of the news, but also quite wrenching

his personal story. So here we go. Here's Anderson Cooper.

From ABC, this is the 10% happier podcast. I'm Dan Harris.
