Eckhart Tolle: Essential Teachings - Podcast Rankings and reviews

How out of touch is The Oprah Winfrey Network with the spirit and purpose of Eckart's Teachings? The Loud and chaotic interruptions by advertisements are incredibly annoying and are always inserted before Eckhart completes a point. It’s sad that OWN is disrespecting Tolle’s lectures this way. Oprah’s introduction at the beginning is completely unnecessary too. Just let the man speak.

I’ve listened to this series more than once and I get more from it each time. I appreciate the response to the feedback that the ads make it difficult to appreciate the discussion - they seem toned down a little and don’t interrupt the podcast. Loud and repetitive, are not in keeping with either Eckhart Tolle or Oprah Winfrey.

This podcast is one of my favorites. His talks are always so helpful and easy to apply to the day to day world. They could do better with the commercials not being so loud. Not just loud but blasting. It’s a legit safety concern when driving and listening. I’m forever turning them down. How about putting them at the normal sound level of the podcast?

The the inserted advertisements are extremely disruptive to his teachings and a jolting distraction. Why are they so loud and obviously inserted into his mid sentence. What are the editors thinking for a a meditative program on higher consciousness??

This would be an amazing 5 star podcast if it wasn’t for the constant commercials, which are carelessly dropped into the episode oftentimes in the middle of a thought. I love Eckhart and his teachings, but the way this podcast is structured with insane commercials dropped in mid sentence is completely antithetical to his central teachings about being present as it completely takes you out of the moment. I guess OWN is being greedy at Eckhart’s expense. Very unfortunate.

Eckart Tolle may be the best living teacher of how to quiet your mind and find joy and meaning - I was so glad to find a podcast filled with his wisdom and soft slow words. And yet this podcast has THE most loud and obnoxious ads of any I listen to—and they turn the volume up for them! I had a glimmer of hope that Oprah would add value to bring Tolles peace to society - no, rather than doing anything generous to make his word more accessible, she is the one whose production company chooses the advertisers, the frequency of ads, and of course the volume. What a deep, offensive commentary on Oprah. What a shame Tolle’s gifts can’t be shared with the world in a decent way that doesn’t destroy the product in the process. Oprah, if you care about Tolle’s message, don’t make a profit on it-make a contribution to fund a podcast with his message, unadulterated by the very sort of loud, shrill, consumerist, selfish messages he is trying to save us all from.
