4. "On Being with host Krista Tippett"

I listen to it on my local NPR station on Sunday mornings whilst I make coffee. That's about the extent of my religiosity for the week. She is good and sometimes you can tell she is just full of her self and leads her guests with loaded questions..
As for mindfulness to me it's just a gussied up form of meditation practiced for thousands of years. Got to have a new spin to sell it to the newbies. Like TM and work out routines touted in the gym and the tv machine. Just a variation on on an old theme.. Ommm y'all

That being said I try to meditate 2x a day.. Helps keep my head screwed on straight.
