Eckhart Tolle: Essential Teachings

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?

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.

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 LOVE Tolle and his lectures. However the ads are extremely bizarre. They happen suddenly and are jarring. Completely out of line with the content of the podcast.

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.

I would have given five stars, but the commercials are just too much. They distract from and disrupt a very thoughtful presentation. It's unbearable and I won't even try to listen again.
