Back in 2015, a conversation began between journalist Tod Perry and Dr. Carl Totton-a unique dialogue that evolved into What's This Tao All About?. Dr. Totton brings a fascinating perspective as a Doctor of Psychology, founder of the Taoist Institute, and even a member of the Martial Arts Hall of Fame. Together, they embark on a lighthearted yet profound journey through the ancient wisdom of the Tao.

The charm of this podcast lies in the genuine, meandering dialogue between the two hosts, making profound philosophy feel like a relatable conversation. It’s a chance to listen in as they parse out what it means to live in harmony, embrace simplicity, and understand the natural way of things.
