  • Excellent podcast

    I was looking to deepen my understanding of Buddhism and my meditation practice. Susan’s podcast does both. Her voice is truly pleasant and calming as well. It has good tone! And sound quality is great. As a podcaster myself, I’m sensitive to good sound quality. I highly recommend it.

  • Love Susan, love this podcast

    I love Susan in all

    her incarnations, be it written, video, or at her Open Heart Project- but if you ask me this podcast is perfect… the themes the length and of course for Susan’s very genuine desire to both teach and share. But don’t take my word for it! (One of my favorite sayings of hers) Listen for yourself.

  • Finally!

    I am so happy to have this podcast from Susan on the principles of Buddhism and how they relate to our lives. Susan is very knowledgeable and has practiced for many years but she has a unique way, with humor and simplicity and grace, to make it easy to understand. Particularly, in these tumultuous times (and aren’t there always tumultuous times?), these teachings provide a path. Thank you, Susan Piver!
