Shaman Radio Presents Podcasts from Jon Rasmussen's Work

Shaman Radio Presents Podcasts from Jon Rasmussen's Work is a spirituality show with a practical nervous system. It is interested in invisible realities, but it rarely leaves them floating. Episodes ask what a ritual does, how trauma distorts identity, why a child can sense what adults try to hide, and whether suffering is the true boundary of moral concern. The show moves through several formats. Some installments are live conversations with named guests, including Veronica Moya on children’s mindfulness and Peter Slough on business, travel, and unexpected lessons from baboon behavior. Others are structured dialogues built from Rasmussen’s material, where one voice advances a spiritual model and another supplies the skeptical objection. That structure gives the show its strongest rhythm. A claim is made. A practical resistance appears. Then the episode tries to make the metaphysics concrete. The Catholic Mass episode is a clear example, comparing Peruvian shamanic despacho with Eucharist, the sign of the cross, hucha, sin, grace, and the idea of ritual as a technology for sending and receiving. The communion episode treats ego, trauma, and the dark night of the soul through computer metaphors, turning inner change into something like a system reboot rather than a vague spiritual glow. The AI suffering episode stretches empathy from seal hunting history to Jeremy Bentham’s question about who can suffer. The children’s mindfulness conversation is gentler but no less pointed, framing meditation as daily mental hygiene for overstimulated kids. Throughout, Shaman Radio keeps returning to questioning, healing, and the strength of the soul. It is not polished wellness copy. It is warmer, stranger, more argumentative, and more willing to place shamanic practice, Christianity, psychology, business, family life, and future ethics on the same table.
