I've listened a lot to Alan Watts, especially in the past before Youtube existed. I just love to be taken away by his hypnotic voice. At first glance, this voice seems the voice of a preacher (probably because he actually had been an Anglican priest somewhere down the line) but when you listen carefully, you hear the voice of a highly sensitive, intelligent, and spiritual person.

Who is Alan Watts?
A prolific author and speaker, Alan Watts was one of the first to interpret Eastern wisdom for a Western audience. Born outside London in 1915, he discovered the nearby Buddhist Lodge at a young age. After moving to the United States in 1938, Alan became an Episcopal priest for a time, and then relocated to Millbrook, New York, where he wrote his pivotal book The Wisdom of Insecurity: A Message for an Age of Anxiety. In 1951 he moved to San Francisco where he began teaching Buddhist studies, and in 1956 began his popular radio show, “Way Beyond the West.” By the early sixties, Alan’s radio talks aired nationally and the counterculture movement adopted him as a spiritual spokesperson. He wrote and traveled regularly until his passing in 1973.Borrowed from: https://alanwatts.org/life-of-alan-watts/
