I'm Marc Salmon, a comedian and practising Buddhist (who needs a lot more practice).

The Bardo Podcast is where I talk with comedians, philosophers, artists, mystics and other curious people about philosophy, spirituality, creativity, psychology, Buddhism, politics, culture and the messy business of being human.

Inspired by the Buddhist idea of the Bardo, a space of transition and uncertainty, the conversations explore different ways of seeing the world, making sense of change, and what it means to be human.

Sometimes it's serious, sometimes it's funny. It's always searching.

The podcast is completely independent. There's no production company behind it. It's just me trying to make the best conversations I can.
