Spiritual Podcasts

I’ve decided to showcase a few spiritual podcasts for people that may want to utilize their mp3 players as a source of daily inspiration. Bear in mind that this is a very broad selection of podcasts that will give a taste of what I’ve found lately. I’ve gone over the whole itunes religion directory and so far these are the ones I’ve subscribed to. Feel free to suggest some more that you’ve found; I’m really starting to develop an interest in theology lately and I’m hungry for different resources. Here’s my list in particular order:

A Time for Choices is hosted by New Dimension’s Michael Toms. He talks with leading minds in various fields about how to confront the world’s burning issues from a spiritual perspective. Toms isn’t really known for pushing one religion in particular and I would recommend this one to people that are looking for a more “rounded” (I don’t know what I mean by that other than that it isn’t as secular are mainstream talk shows) take on current world events.

Vatican Radio One-O-Five: This podcast came about primarily due to the efforts of Roderick Vonhogen from the Catholic Insider. This show is broadcast directly from the Vatican and is trying to take advantage of the new reach podcasting has allowed for evangelism all over the world. To listen directly to what is happening currently in the world of the Catholic Church, there really isn’t any better place to go.

Zencast is a weekly podcast that features recordings of high quality lectures that focus on various aspects of the Dharma and Zen Practice. I first started listening with the podcast that featured Thich Nhat Hanh speaking in Vietnam. For people that are interested in strengthening their understanding of zen, or for those that are just starting to learn more about this religion, I would recommend this podcast first and foremost!

Consciousness is a podcast that takes on the very idea of how our brains function beyond the body. You’ll hear lectures on various metaphysical issues, and even find a great talk film director David Lynch gave on what meditation has done for him personally. This podcast is for anyone that is wants to know about neurological scientific breakthroughs, ideas of world peace, how the arts can expand our minds, and anything that has to do with outer boundaries of thought.

Alt.Muslim.Review is a somewhat irreverent yet very necessary look at what is happening in the world of Islam. It has a talk show format, and its hosted by young Muslims that are not only passionate about spreading the word on their religion, but want to do it in a way that is accessible to people of all faiths. This is a great entry point into a world I know many people wish to have more exposure to, and I can assure you that its a blast to listen to.

Finally there’s the RevTim Podcast, a fun podcast hosted by a minister in the San Francisco area. Tim talks with people about their religious experience, tries to give listeners a daily dose of Christian inspiration and puts it all together in a contemporary package that is not in any way preachy. I think one of the best things about this podcast is Tim himself, he’s an effective moderator and guide to a world may think they already know. I encourage people to listen to this chiefly for its entertainment value first, to be honest.
