Walking with the Tao

Walking with the Tao

Welcome to Walking With the Tao! I am the host and creator, Daniel Vollaro. This podcast is based on the simple idea that philosophy is best done while walking. It’s not a new idea. Aristotle, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Henry David Thoreau all made connections between walking and thinking deeply. In this podcast, I hike with Andrew McEntyre—who has his own great walking podcast, Deep in the Woods—and we discuss passages from the Tao Te Ching, the great work of Chinese philosophy. The conversations are wide ranging, relatable, and relevant. Join us while we walk and talk.
