Sohbet Punx Podcast

On this episode we're discussing whether faith can solve our crisis of meaning after hearing two much more intelligent people discussing the same topic. But that's not all, problematic people follow us everywhere we go! Disturbed are YOUR favourite new band! AI Jesus! Deep conversations are important! Grappling over THE big existential questions! We're recording this episode just before going on a 10 day silent retreat so I think we're feeling even deeper than usual! Good luck with that dear listener, good luck!

First up, we compare Dillinger 4 with symphonic pap metal and think about the importance of emotion and being in the moment at gigs, then we go for some long walks in central London before moving on to our main topic of the episode... Love! Two people with a very imperfect relationship seek out some advice on how to get better at it. How do we grow, educate, develop individually and together? If you have the answer please let us know...

This episode we're discussing Christine Rosen's excellent new book "The Extinction Of Experience" as well as our need for space, mind wandering and the importance of boredom. It’s a bit of a heavy episode but don’t fret, we also start beef with both the DVLA and Marky Mark and his Funky Bunch so there’s fun to be had.

On this episode we're talking about Humanism and the philosopher EF Schumacher because it just so happened they popped up in our lives at the same time as each other. Is that all? Certainly not! There's loads more including Jesus Lizard, Atomic Habits, Gratitude journals and an update on the man with his poo poo pipe.

It's a new year and we owe you some Christmas cheer after missing an episode over the festive period so here it is! We treat you with some fun poo stories, we give you live updates about a man with a big pipe outside the window, we successfully time travel and we chat about the positives and negatives of making new year's resolutions. We're off social media now so if you're listening then you've stumbled across us by magic, celebrate yourself.

On this episode we talk about gratitude, sobriety, nutrition and how we make changes in the later stages of our lives through the lense of Ray Cappo, EF Schumacher, Brad Warner, Mo Gawdat (again) and loads more. It's the last one of the year, enjoy it.

The Sohbet Punx Podcast (formerly Breakfast Punx) is a fortnightly discussion of meaning, transcendence, awe and spirituality with a small "S" brought to you by Dave (Haest/Sham City Roasters) and Siobhan (Comeback Clit). These discussions are not academic - we use personal experience and our own journey to try to understand complicated issues and hope to make discoveries through open, nuanced discussion whilst showing our workings in the process. Also, we laugh a lot.

On this episode we continue our discussion of our experiences of attending a Buddhist group and learning about meditation, mindfulness and various other thoughts and teachings. We also compare Shed Seven and Manowar, write nice letters, we scream at radiators and fridges and we find out what the hell "fanmanning" is.

On this episode we're talking about our very tentative first steps into the world of meditation, mindfulness and Buddhism and the respective personal journeys that brought us to this point. But of course that's not all, we also body shame a pap-metal band, we go for a walk with our friends, we see some dopamine filled dogs meeting each other and we try not to kick moving cars!

Shakti mat reviews and beds of nails, Fugazi albums and beach meditations, running marathons and spiritual exhaustion, documenting meaningful things in a world of noise, maybe logic and Infinite Jest, all inclusive holidays and Brave New World, stress, discomfort and what it means to be happy. All that and loads of other random thoughts from two of the worst.
