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.

The Panic is a new comedy podcast from Wondery that leans into our most absurd anxieties and

defuses them with humor and actual advice. Listen to Don't Panic on the Wondery app or

wherever you get your podcasts.

So way before 10% happier the book or the podcast even existed, there was a great podcast

that I used to listen to and still listen to occasionally called Buddhist Geeks.

And it doesn't actually exist anymore though you can find it in your podcast feeds.

They're not doing it anymore. But is this great show where they brought on all of these

deep end of the pool Buddhist teachers and asked them all these crazy questions and it

was really where I started to learn a lot about going past my interest in straight up

secular meditation and getting a lot more interested in I guess issues around enlightenment

to use a loaded term. And the host of that show was a guy named Vince Horn, young guy and

he's moved on some really interesting things but learned a lot of interesting stuff along

the way while hosting Buddhist Geeks. And also his experience on the cushion is super,

super compelling which you'll hear all about in this interview right now with Vince.
