Reach Truth Podcast
Tasshin Fogleman
people are sacred, conversations are worship
I love people, and I love having conversations. Each person is a universe unto themselves—vast, mysterious, fascinating, precious, and sacred. Conversation is a way to truly see someone, to understand who they are in their fundamental essence and the present circumstances of their life, and to meet them there—to build relationship and connect deeply.
For me, my podcast is a place where I can practice this art, of seeing people deeply and connecting to them through conversation. I invite people who I’m deeply curious about and excited to talk with.

Ethics of Care, Epistemic Injustice, and Speciesism with Cat Swetel
In this video, I speak with Cat Swetel about how Ethics of Care and Epistemic Injustice relate to speciesism and environmental degradation. The first half is a more typical interview format; the second half is more of a conversation where we use the ideas Cat shares to make sense of speciesism.

In this conversation, Maija and I discuss meditation, metta / lovingkindness, the jhanas (concentration states), insight meditation, IFS, and more! Unfortunately the recording has Maija's camera pinned, so it only shows Maija rather than both of us! My apologies - I thought this conversation would be worth posting anyway!
