In this episode of The Psychedelic Podcast, Paul F. Austin speaks with David Adam Burns, a transformational coach, artist, and founder of The Mysteries, about what may be missing from today's psychedelic conversation.

He outlines a framework for healing through integration, purification, and emotional "thawing," and explains why presence may be the most important skill for navigating psychedelic experiences.

Since 2015, he has guided leaders through deep personal transformation in his one-on-one practice and co-founded The Mysteries, an artists' collective dedicated to expressing the ineffable through myth and performance.

The March 27, 2026, episode of The Gay Mix kicks off with a high-energy countdown to host Daniel Brewer's 59th birthday, a milestone he approaches with a mix of excitement and "paranoia" about the legalities of retirement accounts. Joined by his best friend and co-host Adam Burns, Daniel provides a "running update" for the thousands of "highly addicted" fans, revealing he is back in training for the upcoming Springtime Surprise 10-miler at Walt Disney World. The duo quickly dissolves into a heated "poultry debate" after Daniel's first-ever visit to Raising Cane's, which he disparages as the "poultry form of mashed potatoes" compared to the spiced breading of Zaxby's—a controversy they plan to settle with a future filmed taste test.The banter takes a theatrical turn as Adam recaps his weekend seeing the musical Some Like It Hot, though the conversation takes a sharp detour into a "party foul" involving "cute college boys" peeing in a parking lot. Between Adam's "bland" Greek food critiques and Daniel's obsession with flaming saganaki cheese, the hosts find time to dissect the "common thread" of other shows on the Afterthought Media network. They specifically point out how network founder Joe Batance acts as a "narrator" who pokes and prods at his friends' insane adventures like he is "at a zoo".The "Contact" segment turns into a heartwarming birthday tribute as the 707-613-3284 voicemail line overflows with wishes from regular listeners like Gary and RT Cruiser. The highlight is a custom, AI-assisted birthday song from Brian in New Orleans that chronicles Daniel's 15-year podcasting journey "from Azeroth to the Springtime Surprise". After a lackluster showing in the "News Game" and a Disney-themed "Bonus Round," Adam reveals his new career pivot: a travel-themed Etsy shop where he'll use UV and 3D printers to create state-themed coasters and QR-coded luggage tags. The show concludes with the duo heading into the "Level 13" after-show to finally cross the midnight threshold into Daniel's birthday.Email: Contact@MixMinusPodcast.comVoice/SMS: 707-613-3284

Meanwhile, Daniel updates the listeners on his intense training for a busy April of racing, including the Springtime Surprise at Walt Disney World and the inaugural 10K at Dollywood.Things get technical (but relatable!) as Daniel recounts a harrowing 24-hour internet outage that forced him to turn his car into a mobile office and route his entire home through a cellular hotspot just to stay online. This leads into a fascinating look at Daniel's latest software project, "Ho Chi Malt," an AI tool designed to make the show's 15-year history searchable through a process he calls "longitudinal grounding". It's a glimpse into the future of how we interact with media, ensuring no classic story—like the infamous "fruit plate incident"—ever gets lost again.The show rounds out with plenty of laughs and listener interaction. The guys debate the merits of cooking your own dinner at The Melting Pot—is it a luxury dining experience or are you just doing the waiter's job for them?—and break down the latest tactical errors on Survivor. From investigating why cats act like they're in a perpetual state of starvation to celebrating Daniel's 59th birthday, this episode is packed with the chemistry and wit that keeps "The Mix" community connected.Email: contact@MixMinusPodcast.comVoice/SMS: 707-613-3284

On this episode of The Project Endure Podcast, Joe Rinaldi sits down with Adam Burns — endurance athlete, ultra-runner, and mental health advocate — for a powerful conversation about hope, discipline, and choosing meaning in the midst of struggle. Adam shares his journey from using fitness as a way to cope with bullying, depression, and anxiety, to completing an Ironman becoming the fastest person to ever run across the state of Utah. He opens up about his lifelong battle with depression, suicidal ideation, and the pressure of high achievement, and how running became both a lifeline and a tool for self-discovery. Joe and Adam explore the role of discipline in building resilience, the importance of grace when standards feel crushing, and the influence of family, faith, and community in enduring hard seasons. The conversation also dives into Adam's record-breaking 9-day, 8-hour run across Utah to raise awareness for suicide prevention, the brutal terrain and headwinds he faced, and the unwavering support of his crew that helped him keep moving forward.

A Dunedin high school band that will open for the Foo Fighters early next year says it's unlikely they'll play another gig organised by the city council. The band SEEK HELP! from Queen's High School is one of several young bands from the city's thriving music scene that played at New Year's Eve festivities in the CBD. Some councillors have objected to such a raucous punk band being hired in the first place, preferring dance classics to "get the crowd shaking their bits followed by the bag pipes and a new year countdown". Although bigger gigs are to come, the band says the experience has left them feeling undervalued and misrepresented. Adam Burns reports.
