Even before Covid-19 I’ve been a heavy consumer of podcasts about Zen. Anyone who has struggled with finding a great (consistent) Soto Zen podcast will enjoy listening to Koun Franz’s approach to life and practice.
Thousand Harbors Zen is located in Nova Scotia. And while I find myself sometimes wishing he and his family would move closer to the Pacific time zone in North America, I feel fortunate that I can hear his teachings through Podomatic (I know, never heard of it either…)
