    Acknowledging deep hurt in your heart
    I met Mikey at a trauma center and wondered what I’d get out of his teaching being raised Catholic. Low and behold I couldn’t wait to see him on Saturdays. I made sure to give him a T-Shirt that I gave to everyone there so he would know how much he helped me start the recovery for the lost of my son at 30 in an oilfield accident. I love you Mickey

    Excellent Companion on the Path
    Thoughtful, Open Hearted, and Thorough. A walk through complex teachings with a friend.
  • Songcrafterliz
    Warm, vital, human, true
    What a wonderful series of teachings, consistently strong and humorous and relatable. Buddhist teachings for everyone, even for non-Buddhists. Insights about addiction for everyone, even those who do struggle with addiction. I’m grateful to have found this podcast.
  • Hayden Goody
    Thanks! Thanks! Thanks!
    I’m very grateful to have the Wild Heart crew as a resource in my life. There’s so much to learn through them :)
  • Beth.H.

  • peter kastaris
    Amazing
    Mikey and Andrew make the dharma accessible and easily digestible with personal anecdotes and wise analogy’s. Great listen
  • Max K 341
    Learning
    I’m still learning. Andrew and others talk about Buddhist ideas, the Eightfold Path etc. in a simple and sometimes humorous way, relating the topic to their own lives and I enjoy that, and benefit from it. I’ll definitely keep listening.
  • lucys mim262
    Spot on!
    Great listening! Thank you!
  • nickanderhoey
    I love it
    Well done! This is just for me.
  • mammymojo
    A real gem
    This podcast has everything- cool folx, cussing, storytelling, and meaning. I love how Andrew and Mickey discuss the dharma in a conversational way, easing truth bombs into your lap as easily as a sleepy cat. I listen and share as often as possible

    Makes me wish I lived in Nashville
    This is the best Buddhism podcast I know of. How this guy ended up in Nashville I have no idea. It’s a rare podcast that makes me want to go on a cross country road trip.
  • tribegymnast
    Excellent Content , Foul Language
    The podcast is accessible (the speaker is relatable) without the foul language. Consider choosing more carefully your words. I would be able to share this message with more people, e.g. my children. Thank you for your work. 🕊🌈❤️
  • Kim🙏🏼
    Excellent quality teachers
    I love this podcast! Andrew is a very real, relatable and skillful teacher. These lectures/practices/teachings are excellent and have been very beneficial to my own practice 🙏🏼

    Down-to-earthinsight and guidance
    I went searching for a meditation podcast and stumbled upon the Wild Heart because I liked the title. And the podcast lives up to the name. It offers a clear-eyed, down to earth, non-sanctimonious exploration of the path. I am very grateful. Thank you!
  • thsjstargdb
    Thanks
    I’m very grateful to have this podcast when I can’t be at the meditation center in Nashville.
  • Shuita3
    Awesome Dharma Podcast!
    Great Dharma talk! Andrew has become one of my favorite teachers. He delivers Buddhist teachings and principles in a very down-to-earth, accessible fashion. This is a great podcast for secular folks that are interested in Buddhist practice but who aren’t keen to focus on more religious traditions.
  • natsade
    Great Dharma Talks!
    Love the way Andrew teaches the Dharma, it relates to everyday life and makes it very easy to understand and practice. Would love to visit and sit with this sangha!
  • kmkelly1971
    Podcast Binge
    Listened to this podcast everyday while I was at work, some of them more than once. I love how down to earth, real and simplistic for people like me who are just beginning. The Podcast definitely makes me want to come visit the center and meet this fabulous group that I now feel like I have a kinship with.
  • JRodBain
    Really Great Podcast
    I like this podcast a lot and what I appreciate the most is that it’s in a real setting. If you ever attended meditation centers or classes similar to this, it’s very easy to imagine yourself sitting in the room with Andrew and the rest of the group. He’s a great teacher and I very much enjoy the content of each episode. Thanks for making these available in podcast form!

  • whipitoutnowboy
    Bring home the dharma
    I don’t always get the opportunity to meet up with dharma groups so this is great. Rick
  • Japhynmarley
    Love this
    What a great way to get a little sanga time in when there isn’t enough time in the day.
