A couple years ago, I stumbled upon the work of the late Alan Watts, a 20th century writer and speaker who helped to popularize Eastern philosophy with Western audiences. You can hear more of Watts' speeches by subscribing to the Alan Watts Podcast.
This encore episode combines the words of Watts with the music of MoShang, who also combines Eastern and Western ideas. MoShang's remix compilation, Asian Variations, was released under a Creative Commons license, and you can get a free copy for yourself at AsianVariations.com.

New music returns next week, when I'm not so sleep deprived and not so annoyed at Giuseppe Rossi. I'll get over that soon. Honest.
Enjoy the show!
Thanks so much for reposting this, Dave. I’m honored that you used my musical collaborations to underscore Watts’ ideas. Just for the record, it’s my favorite episode of any podcast ever!
