Summary

He's had plenty of mentions in the ten episodes up to now, so it makes sense to spend a bit more time talking about Ram Dass! Find what you've been looking for (even though you don't know what it is) in an episode covering some of Neil's favourite Dass quotes. Like all the other episodes though, there's plenty of time for diversions; like anecdotes involving Tony Blackburn, why you might say something rude to a tree and the fact that "you are not your arms". Make sure you subscribe and leave a review! You can email Lee and Neil here: [email protected]
