Spiritual Teacher Ram Dass and Comedian Duncan Trussell Bring Mindfulness and Laughter Together with New Podcast Partnership
Los Angeles, Ca (PRWEB) February 01, 2017 -- Be Here Now Network (BHNN) and Feral Audio are joining forces to create a new and unique podcast platform that will combine spirituality and comedy, thanks to the urging of comedian and Feral Audio podcaster, Duncan Trussell.
While Feral Audio is known for comedy podcasts like Dan Harmon’s Harmontown and Kumail Najiani’s, The X Files Files, BHNN has focused on consciousness-based content like Ram Dass’ Here and Now and Raghu Markus’ Mindrolling. The networks feel it’s the right time for the two to come together in support of each other's podcasts and sensibilities. Both are excited to bring humor and awareness to their listeners, and hope to provide much-needed pause and a sense of ease, as we enter an incredibly uncertain era.
Of the union, Trussell says, “I love Ram Dass so I'm thrilled that Feral Audio is introducing his teachings to a new audience.”
Ram Dass was equally excited saying, "When Duncan Trussell put us on the podcast path we became energized by this extraordinary new communication platform. It’s wonderful to see my work over these many decades now reaching a new audience."
Dustin Marshall, founder of Feral Audio, has been a long time advocate for the creative rights of Feral Audio artists and the network will continue to produce and promote hit comedy podcasts. Feral Audio has over 13 million downloads per month and is looking forward to bringing a larger audience to the BHNN podcasts. Additionally, both networks are anticipating a lot of cross-pollination between Feral and BHNN podcasters including co-produced podcasts, special guests across networks, and live events.
“I’m excited to have Ram Dass’ Be Here Now Network participate in this new podcast partnership. We can expect the unexpected and enjoy pure delight from these exceptional artists and spiritual teachers with a rarified combination of exceptional talent like Duncan Trussell, Ram Dass, Dan Harmon, Jack Kornfield, and many more.” – Dustin Marshall, Founder, Feral Audio
“We’re looking forward to sharing the magic that comes from the sublime communication platform of podcasting and intend via this partnership, to carry compassion, love, and peace into new territory, where many more people will be able to share in consciousness and humor.” ¬– Raghu Markus, President, Be Here Now Network
