Guru Viking
Explore Steve James’s Guru Viking archive, from meditation and Buddhist traditions to the texts, books, and people named in each conversation.
About this archive
Connections come from official episode titles, descriptions, and chapter notes, plus 1085 additional references checked in the context of captions from 281 episodes. A further 363 references come from machine transcripts of the official podcast audio for 78 episodes. Each connection identifies its source. Speech recognition can mishear names and Buddhist terminology; full transcripts have not been checked word for word against the audio. Chapter timestamps open a named chapter; caption timestamps open near the reference. Audio-transcript references link to the official podcast audio and its own timestamp, which may differ from the video. Remaining episodes use official notes only.
The official website currently lists 385 numbered entries through episode 387, plus 29 specials and guest appearances. Numbers 11, 133 are absent from that archive. The archive also includes conversations outside Buddhism. Topic tags describe what is discussed, including disagreements; they do not establish a guest’s affiliation or the Atlas’s endorsement.
Episode titles, artwork, and chapter references: Guru Viking’s official archive ↗. The guest filter includes all guests identified in the official archive, whether or not they have an Atlas teacher profile. It excludes hosts who interviewed Steve on other shows. Selected Buddhist works and established directory entries are linked below; new book and teacher suggestions receive separate editorial review.
