The Buddhist AF Podcast

Tonight…
It’s the Halloween episode.
We meet Samuel Grayson—an engineer obsessed with the idea of time travel.
Years spent alone in his basement, working in secret on a project he never shared,
not even with his wife and children.
Some ideas refuse to stay contained.
This is one of them.

Tonight…
Welcome back—officially rebranded, with five times the staggering.
In this quick episode, I talk about what’s coming next,
how I’ve been humbled by the love this podcast has received,
and why it still feels right to say it again: thank you.

Tonight…
We close the chapter.
From the Ho Chi Minh Trail to the long shadow the war cast over Laos and its people,
this episode looks at what happens after history moves on—
and why the effects are still being felt today.

Tonight…
We take a deeper dive into the Hmong role in the war.
Why the mountains mattered, how geography became strategy,
and why control of the high ground shaped everything for both sides.

Tonight…
We go deeper into the Secret War.
Before the fighting escalates, we name the players, set the board,
and look at the forces that would define a conflict most of the world never saw.

Tonight…
A new episode, and a passion project six months in the making.
We talk about the often-forgotten war in Laos—overshadowed by the war in Vietnam, and rarely taught or discussed.
I give a brief history of what happened to my homeland,
and why Laos is still considered the most heavily bombed country in the history of war.

Tonight…
After a short hiatus and some much-needed time with my little clone, I’m back.
This episode sat on the shelf for weeks before I finally hit record.
It’s about gaming tutorials, learning the hard way,
and whether modern games are holding our hands too much.

Tonight…
A quick episode about finally getting the four-day, forty-hour work week I’ve been fighting for since day one.
Why it mattered so much to me, what it changed,
and what it means to finally have time that feels like my own again.

Tonight…
We talk about one of the anime that shaped me.
The lessons it taught, the music that scored my West Coast life,
and how it carried me through moments I didn’t have words for yet.
This is Initial D.

Tonight…
A Book Club episode, and a difficult but necessary read.
The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down forces us to look at what happens when cultures collide and everyone believes they are doing the right thing.
This is a conversation about listening, humility, and the cost of being unheard—especially when lives are on the line.
