About this listen

What happens when you take 2,500‑year‑old Buddhist wisdom and drop it into our chaotic, caffeinated, scroll‑addicted modern world? You get Radio Buddha — a podcast that takes Buddhism seriously… but not ourselves.

Hosted by Jesse Weiland, a 20‑year lay practitioner and fellow wanderer, each episode blends humor, storytelling, and down‑to‑earth Dharma to make ancient teachings practical (and sometimes pretty funny) for everyday life. Whether you’re brand‑new to meditation or deep in the sutras, Radio Buddha invites you to slow down, laugh a little, and explore how this stuff actually works in real life.

    10 Not-So-Profound Questions About Buddhism
    Aug 4 2025

    "Do Buddhists believe in aliens? Would the Buddha have used TikTok? Can you meditate while scrolling Instagram?"

    In the very first episode of Radio Buddha, Jesse — a 20‑year lay practitioner and fellow wanderer — spins the Wheel of Samsara to tackle 10 of the weirdest, funniest, and most not‑so‑profound questions about Buddhism. Along the way, we explore how ancient wisdom collides with modern life, with plenty of humor and curiosity to keep things light.

    Includes:

    • 10 playful questions about Buddhism (yes, aliens and iced coffee are on the list)
    • A Drop of Dharma with Pema Chödrön’s classic “strawberry” story
    • A quick 30‑second mindfulness practice you can do anywhere
