This is a series of philosophy lectures set to music, the idea being that the music helps shape the teachings into a more digestible form, and allows you to listen to them in any state (driving, exercising) and remain engaged with the text.
The first season features lectures by Alan Watts, who has been described as a teacher of Buddhist and Hindu philosophy with a knack for making them sensible to Western audiences. They pertain to the most fundamental of questions: what is reality?
[note: the lectures are from the 60s and occasionally some of the language used is outmoded by today's standards]

"So let’s say the tree which grows apples is a tree which apples, using 'apple' as a verb. And a world in which human beings arrive is a world that peoples. And so the existence of people is symptomatic of the kind of universe we live in, just as spots on somebody’s skin is symptomatic of chicken pox, just as hair on a head is symptomatic of what’s going on in the organism. But we have been brought up not to feel that we belong in the world. So our popular speech reflects it. You say, 'I came into this world.' You didn’t. You came out of it."
