    I”ve listened to many many tapes of Alan Watts speaking. I can say “No” with certainty.

  2. thedoginthefog Says:

    @Bjarku Clearly not Alan Watts… Listen to him a bit more and you”ll “hear” it”s not him. Maybe some tonality and a word usage but for you and all the thumbs up.. No, sorry, not alan watts.
    Namaste

  3. thedoginthefog Says:

    @thinkimdumb In case no one else told this, this is not Watts. I have listened to him for years, and that in No way is his voice.

  4. adrenacrumb Says:

    @lobobreed Pointing me to a record doesn”t do me much good if I can”t actually hear the record. I can”t find a single recording of this under a search for Wyatt and Russell but there are pages and pages of the recording under Watts and Russell.

  5. lobobreed Says:

    Yeh, I can point you to my own copy of the record. You can also find it out by looking up Caedmon Records and looking over their list of recordings where you can find this recording listed, along with the verification that the interviewer is Woodrow Wyatt. Considering Russell”s distaste for mysticism and anything associated with religion, it”s highly improbable that he would have been interviewed by anyone interested in organized religion.

  6. adrenacrumb Says:

    @lobobreed You may be right but your claim that Russell wouldn”t have been interviewed by anyone who has a different world view than his is laughable.

  7. adrenacrumb Says:

    @lobobreed Can you point me to where you listened to the audio?

  8. lobobreed Says:

    This is not Alan Watts. It”s Woodrow Wyatt, former member of Parliament and BBC Commentator. This interview was done in 1962, I think, and was put out by Caedmon Records. Anyone ever listening to Alan Watts would know in a minute this isn”t him. And Russell”s logical positivism would have laughed at Alan Watts” interest in organized religion. Next time, due your due diligence before you post. — Silverwolf

    What year was this interview?

  10. 33Barker Says:

    I miss Alan Watts, he was brilliant as well as cool. Now days, you get brilliant but dorky.

  11. tacojuan Says:

    @adrenacrumb well its possible Alan Watts was younger when this was made, and for some reason used an affectation. strangly sounds like william f buckley

  14. tacojuan Says:

    @adrenacrumb well after all Alan Watts might have been younger, and for some reason used an affectation. sounds like william F buckley strangley

  15. adrenacrumb Says:

    @tacojuan Well then pretty much everyone on the internet is fooled. Do a google search.

  16. tacojuan Says:

    not alan watts, no way no how

  17. MrCod18 Says:

    it sounds like watts but the manner in which he talks is different i noticed

  18. cdphatty Says:

    wow watts must have been young in this. i”ve heard from people that he was pretty reserved and regal in his younger days.

  19. adrenacrumb Says:

    @zetetic0void
    No, never seen anything that absolutely confirms it, but there are tons of Watts recordings going around that aren”t listed anywhere and I”ve had no luck finding everyone who has interviewed Russell. I”ve tried searching for content of the interview but not found anything to confirm either way. This was part of an Alan Watts bundle I dl”d and has been labeled as Watts and Russell anywhere I have seen it listed.

  20. adrenacrumb Says:

    @zetetic0void
    This may have taken place after he lost some of his accent and tried faking it for Russell. If it isn”t Watts then it is someone with the exact same pitch and tone of his voice. I would be incredibly shocked if it wasn”t him.

  21. zetetic0void Says:

    @adrenacrumb well it”s possible. Is there any information confirming this is Alan Watts such as information regarding the recording on any site?

    It does sound different for sure.

  22. adrenacrumb Says:

    @zetetic0void
    Have you ever heard an Alan Watts recording before he came to America and still had a completely English accent? I will admit it sounds like he is using a slightly phony accent, but I think he is trying to use a sophisticated English accent since he is interviewing one of the most brilliant people to ever live.

  24. zetetic0void Says:

    I don”t think the questioner sounds like Alan Watts … this voice has a more nasal upper-class snooty sound haha

    listen to the words around 4:54 “years” = yahrs” … “would you sahhhy”

    I just have never heard any Alan Watts recording where he sounded like this or said those words in that manner

  25. Bjarku Says:

    it clearly is Alan Watts though. i mean, far be it from me to question an american to whom all english accents probably sound the same but that is Alan Watts.

  26. adrenacrumb Says:

    Have you bothered doing a google search? I promise you it is Alan Watts. The name of the interview is ”Trend of Philosophy”.

  27. morleyjr1 Says:

    That voice wouldn”t have sounded like Watts at any time in his life. I”ve heard recordings of Watts dating to the early 1950s, and that ain”t him. Not even remotely close.

  28. Prakash Arumugam Says:

    Thanks for posting these audio files. lobobreed is quite right. It’s indded Woodrow Wyatt, former member of Parliament and BBC Commentator. This interview was done in 1958/9.

    The story of Gandhi”s life is captured in “An Autobiography: The Story of My Experiments with the Truth. Gandhi”s autobiography was published in two installments, in 1925 and 1927. It is written in Gujarati, and Indian language, because Gandhi believed that the culture of India was his culture. The subtitle of Gandhi”s autobiography conveys his understanding that we are always making our way toward the truth. Gandhi had a profound belief in God. He was greatly affected by the “Bahavad Gita” and believed that God is truth, but more important, he believed that truth is God and should be worshipped. Truth is in God, and God will progressively reveal wisdom to the searcher for truth. In his “Autobiography” Gandhi does not hesitate to point out his mistakes.

    Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate.

    Studies show now that weight-watchers works better than solo dieting. Folks drop more weight on weight watchers than they will dieting alone. There”s no big deal to this, it”s plain peer pressure that spurs people not to over-eat. It”s interesting though that people will respond far better to potential criticism from their fellows than they will to health concerns. Shows our priorities, and not in a good light either LOL!
