We’re continuing to post occasional pointers to old time radio shows on the network.  There is a vast store of great old audio programming available in the Public Domain. Once prized by collectors and shared on tape between old time radio club members, the digital age now allows for these wonderful programs to be shared online with a worldwide audience hungry for the incredible entertainment of a bygone age.

Episodic Westerns were a big part of the Golden Age of Radio, and OTR Westerns presents the best of them. Recent shows include Frontier Gentleman, The Six Shooter, Have Gun Will Travel, Gunsmoke, The Lone Ranger, and Western-themed episodes of the Lux Radio Theater. “Return with us to those thrilling tales of yesteryear” with OTR Westerns!

Barbara is an international Mayan Elder, Cherokee Record Keeper and ceremonial teacher. Click here for the full episode where they spoke about the Mayan Calendar, time acceleration, and the evolution of human consciousness.

Here’s information about series host, Kelly Howell, from the TOTM Website.

Kelly is internationally acclaimed for her pioneering work in healing and mind expansion. With over 2 million audios in print, she’s been actively involved in consciousness research for more than two decades, and is recognized as a thought-leader in the field of personal transformation.

In 2005 Kelly launched Theatre of the Mind podcasts with a vision and dream of creating an online source for learning about the power of our minds. Theatre of the Mind podcasts and Mp3 store offer unprecedented access to some of the world’s leading visionaries and consciousness researchers exploring mind expansion intuition, creativity and the many facets of human potential. Today, Theatre of the Mind podcast consistently ranks in the iTunes Top 10 most downloaded Self-help, Health, and Alternative Medicine podcasts producing over 100,000 downloads per month.

In the early 1980’s, Kelly began her research into the mind and it’s potential as part of her own personal exploration. She began making personalized reprogramming tapes in her living room, and was astounded by the results. Seeing powerful changes in her life, and her client’s lives, lead to years of research and production. In 1990 she formed Brain Sync offering a wide range of CD’s and mp3 downloads for meditation, healing, spiritual growth and mind expansion.

They refer to it as “Practical Buddhism for living in the 21st Century, not beside a remote lake or mountainside but in the midst of daily life, with a job to do, a house to run and children to raise.” Indeed, much of what they present on A Buddhist Podcast has to do with the application of Buddhist principles to everyday life, with personal examples from their own experiences.

The Jarretts are devotees of Nichiren Daishonin’s Buddhism. The Daishonin was a 13th Century Japanese Priest who focused on the final teaching of Siddhartha Gautama (the Buddha). This teaching is called the Lotus Sutra, and it proclaims that all living beings have the potential to attain enlightenment.

Daily practice involves morning and evening recitation before an object of respect called The Gohonzon, as well as study of the Daishonin’s life and writings.

On the Podcast the Jarretts share Buddhist study points in a way that is easy for listeners to understand and apply to daily life. Jason is fond of saying that this Buddhism, if it is to be anything, must be practical.

If you wonder how relevant 13th Century Japanese Buddhism can be to a family living in 3rd Millineum Britain, pour a cup of tea and listen in to A Buddhist Podcast.

Here’s how Robin and Suzanne describe themselves and the show.

We are Robin and Suzanne Maiden. Our marriage survived 18 years of ‘dragon slaying.’ We’re 40-something-ish and have experienced catastrophic losses. First, Suzanne’s brother was killed in an airline plane crash in October 1994. Second, in July 1995, Robin’s mother was murdered. Another dragon appeared in June of 2000. Suzanne was diagnosed with a rare cancer – hemangiopericytoma – a type of sarcoma. Today, we celebrate her sustained remission. As we continue to recover from our wounds we grow stronger psychologically and spiritually. Our journey led us to study the work of C.G. Jung and Depth Psychology. We believe in the interconnectedness of the mind, body, and spirit.

Suzanne Maiden holds an M.A in Counseling, as a Marriage and Family Therapist. She attended Pacifica Graduate Institute in Santa Barbara, CA. She is a member of the American Psychological Association, The Atlanta Jung Society, the Joseph Campbell Foundation, and The American Academy of Bereavement. Suzanne has published various articles on grief and has presented to churches, small groups, and a university. She completed a manuscript on sudden death grief. She wrote her thesis on self-injurious behaviors, also known as ‘cutting.’

Robin Maiden earned a B.S. in Engineering from the U.S. Air Force Academy. He also holds an M.S. in Information Systems. You can see more of what Robin Maiden has done his site www.robinmaiden.com. In the process of slaying his dragons, he has grown spiritually and continues to explore his inner world and the broader outer world.

We aspire to provide some concepts, tools, and insights that may help others heal. Through our podcasts and this website, we will share our knowledge and very personal experience. Through our own journey of woundedness, we humbly offer our insights in an effort to facilitate others heal from psychological wounds, increase self-awareness and process towards individuation.
