Welcome to your new favorite meditation podcast.

Meditation SUCKS is the podcast for everyone who’s ever tried to meditate and thought, “Am I doing this right?” or “Is this even working?”

Hosted by Sebastian Rusk, a podcaster and comedian who knows that meditation can feel awkward, boring, and sometimes downright impossible, this show is all about making mindfulness fun, accessible, and a little less serious.

Each episode is a quick, 5-10-minute guided meditation that keeps it real—no mystical chants, no perfect poses, just easy-to-follow sessions with a dash of humor. Whether you’re brand new to meditation or just need a break from your noisy mind, this is the place to chill out, laugh a little, and discover that maybe—just maybe—meditation doesn’t have to suck.
