The Tao of Lloyd is a satirical philosophy and culture podcast that reimagines Lloyd Dobler from Say Anything as a middle-aged zen-punk dissident trying to survive late-stage everything.

Part guided meditation, part political satire, part Gen X existential mixtape, the show blends Taoist philosophy, pop culture, spiritual reflection, and cultural critique into something between a meditation app and a protest flyer left behind in a laundromat.

Think Ram Dass by way of Rage Against the Machine, filtered through a VHS copy of Say Anything melting on the dashboard of American decline.

The show is currently evolving into a live solo performance premiering at the 2026 Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

The Tao of Lloyd blends fiction, satire, commentary, and real-world events. Some characters, scenes, and narrative elements are fictionalized. The headlines, unfortunately, are real.
