Understanding Buddhism with Alan Watts
Pacifica Radio Los Angeles airs talks by the great British Buddhist teacher (philosopher-entertainer) Alan Watts every Sunday morning at 8:00 am. Those talks are then made available through the AUDIO ARCHIVES for 90 days following broadcast. It is "Buddhist Radio" for Los Angeles followed by a full night of Buddhist and other spiritual programming on Tuesday through Friday (but especially Thursday) nights from 3:00-6:00 am (and in the archives the following day) for Roy of Hollywood's show, "Something's Happening."
