The Imperfect Buddha podcast explores the world of contemporary Western Buddhism mixing in banter with analysis, no holds barred discussion, and guest interviews. We shun Ted style talks in favour of in-depth discussion and interviews that have room to breathe. 

The podcast has a host site which features articles and essays on contemporary Western Buddhism, as well as show notes for each episode.

The podcast is sponsored by O'Connell Coaching. For support with any of the issues discussed in the podcast, check out the link for an approach that is perfectly suited to Buddhists, post-Buddhists, non-Buddhists, secular sceptics, and New Age refugees. I use Buddhist tools, modern counselling and coaching techniques and practices, along with neo-Shamanic practices and models to help folks rekindle their relationship with personal-growth, development and change work or re-evaluate a relationship with Buddhism or other spiritual paths. https://oconnellcoaching.com

You can leave comments at the Imperfect Buddha Facebook page or Twitter feed. Feel free to make suggestions for topics to cover and guests to interview.

I'm originally from the great city of New Orleans, but I now live in Los Angeles, CA. When I was a youngster, I discovered music after finding an old guitar in my friend's garage closet. I never looked back. While in high school, and after years of playing as a jazz bassist throughout New Orleans, I discovered making music for film and video games when a music teacher of mine talked about playing sessions for composers in Hollywood. 

I had no money for college, and I had dreamed of going to Berklee College of Music ever since I got serious about music. So, in 1999, I joined the United State Marine Corps. After my four years, I finally got to Berklee in Boston. After I started my studies, I quickly discovered the freedom in making music with computers; using sequencers, virtual instruments and plugins. 

After graduation, I made my move to the West Coast to pursue my career as a professional composer and sound designer.



As a kid I used to have many lucid dreams before ever knowing what a Lucid Dream really is. I thought it was natural, and though it wasn’t very common, it was one of my favorite experiences. Beyond the exhilaration of lucidity or the experience of flying, for a kid with a lot of nightmares lucidity proven to be very useful in dealing with the horror of bad dreams.

Years later when discovering all the research and science behind lucid dreaming while at the same time picking up a meditation practice I started to realize that is much more to lucid dreams than the crazy fun experience of controlling your dreams. When I learned that Buddhist monks have been cultivating lucid dreaming for over 2000 years in a practice called Dream Yoga, I found out there seemed to be an aspect to the practice that gives you insight and access to your psyche and subconscious, and when taken to the farther reaches of it’s potential, lucid dreams can act as a window into the nature of consciousness itself.
