BUDDHA AND THE SLUT

Summary: What happens when an award-winning writer hits 'eject' on the 9 to 5, grabs a backpack, and dives head-first into the weird and wild world of 'digital nomads'? After 7 YEARS in Asia, Europe, and parts unknown, BROOKE BURGESS (Broken Saints, Becoming, The Cat's Maw) shares candid tales of culture shock, creative inspiration, sex and relationships, psychedelics and spirituality, and much MUCH more... It's a mid-life renaissance man's 'Eat, Pray, Love' — but with the naughty bits proudly intact — it's BUDDHA AND THE SLUT!

 EP 18: FIRE IN THE SKY (Yup...it's a UFO Story) | File Type: audio/x-m4a | Duration: 24:28

After a recent twitter poll (and to honour the magic of the season) I am delivering unto you a story of a mystical nature. Otherworldly, even. And it’s a doozy, ‘cause it’s the first time I have publicly shared the details of these events…ever. Twas a night in late autumn, and all through the place…something was stirring…something from…outer space. You’re listening to Buddha and the Slut. And this unbelievable yet true story is called...FIRE IN THE SKY.

 EP 17: HAPPY ENDINGS AIN'T CHEAP | File Type: audio/x-m4a | Duration: 17:25

Recommended for MATURE listeners! It's time for another true tale of digital nomad debauchery and mid-life madness from the shores of Southeast Asia. This one revolves around my discovery of a (then) little-known island oasis in the Andaman Sea -- a Muslim island, in the land of Buddhists. Happy Endings Ain't Cheap -- on Buddha and the Slut.

 EP 15: CHRYSTAL LEIGH ASKS ME SHIT! | File Type: audio/x-m4a | Duration: 24:33

Today is a real treat, as my not-so-old friend—acclaimed singer/songwriter, and all-around heartbreakin’ sassy pants CHRYSTAL LEIGH of Nashville sensation SONS OF DAUGHTERS— sent in some recorded questions for the latest Q&A! And then we’ll finish off with the hot track 'Catching Feelings' from her and partner Jimmy Throw's dope new album—it’s SONS OF DAUGHTERS meets the world’s sexiest brother and sister on Episode 15 of Buddha & the Slut.

 EP 14: TIL DEATH DO US PART — How a Cat Saved My Soul | File Type: audio/x-m4a | Duration: 32:59

On this show, I tell stories. Strange ones. Scary ones. Sweet and sad and difficult ones. These are true tales of my experiences with travel and culture, magic and mysticism, and all things dirty - both good and bad. But now? Now I’m going to tell a story about LOVE. Please set aside 35min for the journey. Who knows…maybe, just maybe, you’ll be changed a little by knowing her, too.

 MY OWN PRIVATE WEINSTEIN | File Type: audio/x-m4a | Duration: 17:28

The sad part about the Harvey Weinstein sexual abuse scandal is that I’m not surprised. At all. It’s something I learned to ‘expect’ in the entertainment industry...and something I learned to expect from Life. This was a hard piece to write, with some hard truths to admit. You might find it even harder to listen to. All I can do now is hope that it finds your ears in the spirit intended. Needless to say...this if for Mature Audiences Only.

 EP 13: THE TEMPLE OF DELPHINE (Lessons in Desire) | File Type: audio/x-m4a | Duration: 26:37

What this ain't is 50 Shades of Grey...'cause this story doesn't suck. Instead, Episode 13 is a true #NSFW tale about a gorgeous (and dangerous) young French girl I crossed paths with on a full-day visa run bus trip to the Myanmar border wayyyyy back in the spring of 2013. Headphones and HD are highly recommended. Shares, subscribes, and reviews encouraged as always. Featuring original music by TOBIAS TINKER.

 TWIN PEAKS The Return — Series THEORY (updated) | File Type: audio/x-m4a | Duration: 09:20

With 2000 views in the last 24 hours on Youtube, I figured I should share this theory with my fellow Twin Peaks freaks here on iTunes. We're talking Dale Cooper, Laura Palmer, The Black Lodge, dreams...and what the f*ck Lynch was up to with that series finale!

But it’s still Buddha and the Slut, my friends — which means we've got some travel, embarrassing truths, a little weirdness, and a special kind of narcotic. Welcome to Episode 10 — MY SECRET DRUG. (Feat. Music by Stillness3)
