Voices Of Courage with Ken D Foster

S8EP4, Create Television Magic with Steve Bhaerman

Can humor actually save the world? For 40 years, Steve Bhaerman has been testing that theory through his alter ego, Swami Beyondananda—the "Cosmic Comic" famously dubbed the "Mark Twain of our generation." But beneath the rubber nose and "irreverently uplifting" puns lies a serious mission to heal a divided society. In this episode, we sit down with the man behind the Swami to discuss his groundbreaking work with cellular biologist Bruce H. Lipton on Spontaneous Evolution and why humor is the ultimate catalyst for human growth. We explore his "Swami for Precedent" campaign, the courage required to tell the truth through comedy, and what he calls the "Upwising"—a movement of collective wisdom designed to steer us toward a more positive future. Join us for a deep dive into the relationship between laughter and evolution, and learn how comedy can bridge the gaps that logic cannot.
