Launched February 2024, the mission of Wise Talkers is to dialogue with insightful people sharing practical wisdom. Before conducting new interviews, the podcast begins by re-purposing six interviews from decades ago that remain relevant today.
I am calling these inaugural episodes…
Legacy Editions
The Timeless Wisdom of Gary Snyder
Featuring a 1979 interview with the Pulitzer Prize-winning poet, on KVMR radio.
Elisabeth Kübler-Ross: “On Death & Dying”…and Beyond
Featuring a 1981 interview with the famed death & dying pioneer, on KVMR radio.
Integrating Spirituality and Psychotherapy, with Dr. Ron Mann
Featuring a 1981 interview with the noted psychotherapist, on KVMR radio.
From the Emerald Triangle: Marijuana and Health – My 1996 Interview with Two Humboldt County Doctors
Featuring a 1996 interview with Dr. Bill Hunter and Dr. Mark Phelps, on KHUM radio.
The Serenity and Tumult of Swami Kriyananda – A Mid-Life Conversation with Yogananda’s Beloved Disciple
Featuring a 1981 interview with the founder of Ananda, on KVMR radio.
Demystifying Meditation – in 1979!
This final Legacy Edition features a 1979 interview on KNCO in Grass Valley where I am the guest instead of the host!
Each interview is replayed, together with my opening and closing commentary.
All episodes are described and available for listening on the Episodes page. Each post includes a link to a full transcript of the show (when available) and a Comments section where your feedback is welcome and encouraged!
You can also listen to Wise Talkers on Apple, Spotify and many other podcast directories.
Late August 2024 update:
Podcast on Hold!
My plan, once all six Legacy Editions were published, was to begin conducting and publishing new interviews. However, there’s been a change in plans for the immediate future.
Captivated and energized by the unexpected change this summer in the 2024 U.S. presidential election campaign – namely, Kamala Harris replacing Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee – I have decided to devote my time until November 5 blogging on the campaign. I have launched a new website and blog – Whole New World – which is just getting underway as I write this, August 25, 2024.
We’ll see where we are after the election regarding my future efforts. I will keep you informed here on my plans for the podcast.
