The Amazing Story of Steve Bohlert: The Dark Side of Krishna Consciousness Parts 1 & 2

from Common Threads: An Interfaith Dialogue · host Fred Stella

OK Kids, this is quite the tale. These episodes were recorded & aired in January of 2001. I had just met Steve, as you'll hear. His soul journey is one of the most interesting I've come across. He went from beatnik to hippie to Krishna devotee to minister in the United Church of Christ. But he never lost his devotion to Krishna. If what you hear is of interest I recommend you read in much more detail his recollections at www.stevebohlert.com And how about this added bonus? I just pulled this cassette out of the vault (more of a box, really) & found that at the end of the 2nd show the mics were still hot. Just for the fun of it I decided to keep our private conversation intact. I'm allowing you to eavesdrop. But wait! There's more! In my "real" life I'm a commercial actor. Among other things, I narrate audiobooks. You can find most of what I've done by searching my name on Audible. Anyway, it was at this time I was nudging my way into the biz. Well, As I'm transferring these shows to MP3 I notice that just after that little post taping conversation I mentioned there was a short segment of me reading from "To Kill a Mockingbird" as an audition. Of course, the real audiobook should be performed by a woman. But the part I read is a great scene to display the ability to do different voices. So what the hey? It's easier to keep it here than to edit it out. So enjoy. And remember, these older shows I'm posting are taken from 10-20 year old cassette tapes. Please forgive the lack of fidelity. Theme music "Nigal."
