About Us

Buddha at the Gas Pump (BatGap Non-Profit) is administered by Rick and Irene Archer. Rick prepares for and conducts the interviews while Irene selects and schedules the guests to be interviewed (each doing many other BatGap-related things). We are immensely grateful to our team of volunteers for their invaluable and vital contributions.

We live in a small town in Iowa with our two dogs. BatGap is a labor of love. Rick has always been interested in all things spiritual while Irene has always felt called to help others (including Rick!).

Rick and Irene both spent many years teaching meditation and attending long meditation courses.
