Ex Templo

This entry contains all three parts of the interview with Rev. Jiun Foster.

There have been requests to put the multi-part interviews that I’ve done into one post that contains all portions of the interviews. This allows for an ease in indexing and such. I’ve added all three parts of the interview to this post to fulfill this need and to allow for easy linking.

I interviewed Rev. Jiun Foster of Daiun-Ji Great Cloud Temple in May, 2007 at his home in  Cincinnati, Ohio.

As always, all of the files are available on the podcast’s page on the Internet Archive.

Thorn and I met yesterday for her interview for the Ex Templo podcast at her place in San Francisco.

We spoke for about an hour or so for the recorded podcast and I think it went pretty well. I’m editing the audio files and I will try to get the first portion online before the end of the week.

I’m going to Wordcamp all next weekend so I actually do have an imperative to get this done before then. One of the things I’ll be doing there is attending the Podcasting session with the maker of Podpress, which I use for podcasting. I’m looking forward to this little two day conference.

I’ve finally nailed down the next interview, it seems. Thorn Coyle and I will be getting together on July 15 to have a nice chat, which I will be recording for podcasting here on Ex Templo.

I cornered her at our house warming party a couple of months ago so the delay is entirely on me but I expect it will be fun to sit down and chat with her one on one. All of our relatively brief interactions over the last five years have been at social gatherings, usually Pantheacon.

Thorn’s book, Evolutionary Witchcraft, is one of the better books relating to witchcraft to come out in the last ten years. She spends much of the time traveling to teach so I am glad that she’s offering up some of her time to me for this interview.

Following Thorn, I am going to probably do a phone interview with Father Jordan Stratford of the Apostolic Johannite Church. I was hoping to do his in person during some of his Bay Area trips but it hasn’t worked out well for that so I may be down to recording via Skype.

The forth Ex Templo Podcast is now available. This is the third of the three parts of the interview with Rev. Jiun Foster of Daiun-Ji Great Cloud Temple in Cincinnati, Ohio.

In this podcast, we discuss Buddhism and the social activism that some see as a primary role for Buddhists today in the West. We also discuss a little bit of the controversy that comes when some declare that their own form of Buddhism is the “real” Buddhism.

The Apple Store finally got back to me this evening. I’d submitted the podcast to them before but had never heard back so I did it again.

Ex Templo is now available via iTunes for those that wish to subscribe to it there rather than using the Podcast RSS feed.

Since I listen to most of my podcasts via iTunes when possible (I use my Ipod while walking to work or at lunch), I’m aware that it makes a big difference for some people.
