What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I really enjoy each episode of “The Daily Dharma”. I love the tempo of the show with the gentle voices and pauses that allow me to absorb each moment of each lesson with calmness and thought. One episode that really hit home was the listener request on chronic illness. I live with neuromuscular disease that is very debilitating. The lesson was very useful and also, for me, I got a good case of raccoon friends as a benefit of my daily life. Excellent podcast!

Jon4Future · Aug 2026

Listening to your calmness helps me calm my thoughts. I enjoy listening to the anecdotes and the self reflecting thoughts after. The only thing I would add is maybe some background noise/music to better immerse yourself in the story, but I’ll keep listening either way. Thank you!

Classynine · May 2025

I love the story format, but if I just read or heard the stories I would not get anything near what I get out of her compassionate, nuanced take on them. The host shows a deep understanding of the range of humanity and in every talk conveys humility, lack of judgement, and an invitation to go ever deeper into your own spiritual practice and understanding.

samanthatinkerbelle · Mar 2024

I find these talks very helpful. I like the simplicity of the format and the host does a wonderful job choosing content and explicating. If you like to hear things that bring light and perspective do give this podcast a litsen.
