List of Great Zen Podcasts

I just got a tweet asking for a list of my favorite Zen podcasts. What a great idea! Let's check the podroll -
- Alan Watts - These are recordings of talks given in the 60's and 70's by a revolutionary thinker, breaking Zen down into what Westerners can understand.
- Buddhist Geeks - An analytical show out of Boulder, CO., interviewing a wide variety of interesting guests.
- Dharma Seed - Talks given by Zen and Buddhist masters. Might be the same content as the awesome Zencast.
- Hardcore Zen - Talks by Brad Warner in L.A., the author of Dharma Punx.
- Tara Brach - Renowned psychologist and family counselor Tara Brach giving talks on how to apply Zen to make life better.
- Unfettered Mind - Very Zen. So Zen, it's almost painful to listen to.
- Unfettered Questions - Companion to Unfettered Mind.
- WTF - Comedian Marc Maron's hit podcast. Not purposefully Zen, but it has some incredible moments as he's trying to figure out his own life.
- Zen and the Art of Triathlon - Produced by yours truly. Turns the world's toughest sport into moving meditation and self-discovery. Interviews with experts and applies Zen to training and self-improvement.
- Zencast - This is the crown jewel of them all. Zen talks (dharma talks) given by the leading authorities on Zen, psychology, and application of self. The fact that these are free is truly an amazing gift.
I found all of these by searching through iTunes. Enjoy!

The Drinking Gourd is the podcast I like the best.
Great! Thanks for posting. I've been wondering what your zen influences are...
Alan Watts, Buddhist Geeks, and Zencast are great finds.

Great list! Although Dharma Punx is written by Noah Levine.
Brad Warner is the author of Hardcore Zen, Sit Down & Shut Up, Zen Wrapped in Karma Dipped in Chocolate, etc
