The Bardo Podcast is a comedy, philosophy, and spirituality podcast hosted by comedian Marc Salmon.
Inspired by the Buddhist idea of the Bardo, a space of transition and uncertainty, the podcast explores how we make sense of change, creativity, and modern life.
Through long-form conversations with comedians, writers, philosophers, Buddhist thinkers and artists, the show blends humour and deep thinking to explore new ways of thinking in uncertain times, from personal transformation to culture, identity, and meaning.
Sometimes serious, sometimes funny, always curious, honest, and searching.

How do we let go of things we can't control?
In this episode of The Bardo Podcast, Marc Salmon is joined by Buddhist teacher, author and meditation instructor Tsering Paldron for a conversation about anxiety, burnout, compassion, aging, identity and what actually matters in life.
Together we explore why so many of us struggle to let go, the difference between empathy and compassion, how Buddhist practice can help with anxiety, and why finding peace may have less to do with changing the world and more to do with changing our relationship to it.
