New to Season 2? Behind on a few episodes? Need a long exhale?
This is your on-ramp.

About Season 2: 

Lloyd Dobler is back, reimagined in an unauthorized sequel to the film Say Anything, as a middle-aged dissident with a podcast and a political axe to grind. Like the Tao Te Ching, Season 2 of The Tao of Lloyd unfolds across 81 chapters. But where Lao Tzu offers timeless wisdom in a few spare lines, season 2 of the Tao of Lloyd invites the listener on a spiritual quest: each ten-minute chapter a mixtape stitched together from punk zen philosophy, political satire, and renegade metaphysics. 

The mission: to create a field guide for surviving late-stage everything.

In this BONUS EPISODE: Be Kind, Rewind gathers Chapters 1 through 10 of Season 2 into one long mixtape — with Lloyd dropping in between chapters for tiny reset moments, breathers, and spiritual palate cleansers so your brain doesn’t get indigestion.

You’ll hear:

• The origin of how this season started
• Wu wei in the age of ICE and National Guard paramilitaries
• Zohran Mamdani as the bodhisattva of borough politics
• Bruce Lee, water, and the Standing Rock ego-smack
• The gospel of Do Your Job and Go the F Home*
• And the letter from Diane Court that punched Lloyd in the spiritual sternum
