The feed, the foundation's website and Apple Podcasts describe the show as a long-running series of teachings led by Norman Fischer, the founder and spiritual director, along with other teachers and priests.

The show has 300 episodes, released about every four days, with a median length of roughly 46 minutes. Apple Podcasts shows 158 ratings averaging 4.6 out of 5. Listeners are mostly practitioners and students of Zen. Estimated downloads per episode are 2,000 to 8,000 (an estimate, not a published figure), and the podcast has no sponsors seen in the feed.

A host-read mid-roll would cost about $40 to $200 per episode, depending on audience size. It suits wellness, mindfulness and books brands that fit a contemplative audience, and it is better suited to a respectful, non-commercial message.
