What happens when a deck of cards controls the conversation? On Wild Card, hosted by Rachel Martin, that’s the whole idea — and when Dan sat down as a guest, the cards led somewhere genuinely interesting.
In this episode: why Dan keeps going on silent meditation retreats even though loneliness is the hardest part; what finally made him delete Instagram; the “good-ish” concept that unlocked a new relationship with self-criticism; and a deep dive into the Buddhist take on the soul — which turns out to be a lot more useful than it sounds.
Wild Card is produced by NPR.
