"The New York Times released their 30 Greatest Living American Songwriters list a short while ago. I know online lists usually have some click bait to start conversation but this list was overtly egregious. Not for who was on it. It was who was left off. We will go over the list and play some artists that should have been on there."

In 2016, nine men tied to the College of Charleston's Kappa Alpha fraternity were arrested in what police initially described as a 40,000-pill Xanax bust. The real number was closer to three and a half million, along with cocaine, LSD, weed, luxury watches, a fleet of cars, and a grenade launcher. The crew had spent years pressing counterfeit pills in rented beach houses and shipping them across the country in Skittles bags, fueling an unregulated drug economy that ran straight through one of the most beautiful college campuses in America.Jed talks with journalist Max Marshall, author of the book "Among the Bros," about how he embedded himself in this world, his hundreds of hours of late-night phone calls with an imprisoned ringleader, and what the case reveals about American fraternities and the lives of the men inside them. Max Marshall's book is "Among the Bros: A Fraternity Crime Story" https://shorturl.at/ynPGOSubscribe to our newsletter: ⁠https://jedlipinski.substack.com/⁠ Connect with Jed Lipinski:⁠https://www.instagram.com/gonesouthpodcast/⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/gonesouthpodcast/⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/jed-lipinski/

Film Festival Tickets: https://buytickets.at/thedopeyfoundation/2216905 Listen Without ads on patreon: www.pareon.com/dopeypodcast This week on the Wednesday Dose! The episode kicks off with a classic hippie Dopey email from listener MB, who recounts a spectacular Phish tour nitrous disaster. After days of ketamine, booze, overpriced cocaine, and lot balloons at Dick's Sporting Goods Park in Colorado, MB face-plants into the dirt while clutching multiple nitrous balloons, destroys his glasses, spends a miserable flight home dry-heaving and hallucinating, and somehow survives a concussion-level experience. The story ends on a positive note with nearly ten months clean and sober and a request for dream guests Gibby Haynes and Jason Isbell. Dave then dives into Patreon and Spotify comments, including continuing fallout from the Dopey Sticker Contest. Selby files an official election challenge, claiming the contest was stolen and accusing Dave of failing to refresh Patreon before announcing a winner. Dave doubles down, insisting Felix Heads remains the champion despite accusations of voter suppression, corruption, and sticker fraud. Along the way listeners discuss ADHD, religion, Knicks fandom, kratom recovery, Long Island stories, and the eternal mystery of white crack dealers. The heart of the episode is an incredible interview with Michael Muniz, a 69-year-old Brooklyn native with 36 years sober. Michael tells a quintessential New York story that stretches from Brownsville gangs, schoolyard fights, and witnessing the neighborhood transformation of Brooklyn in the 1960s and 70s to marijuana, acid, cocaine, crack addiction, homelessness, Rikers Island, and ultimately recovery through Phoenix House. Michael shares stories about seeing his deceased father's face in the clouds during an LSD trip, discovering crack in the Cypress Projects and instantly becoming obsessed, losing everything while sleeping on subway trains and wandering New York's tunnels, robbing his mother, surviving violent encounters, and eventually finding his way into Phoenix House. What began as a plan to simply get clean long enough to save money and return to crack eventually became a lifelong recovery journey. The conversation explores therapeutic communities, recovery philosophy, family loyalty, homelessness during the crack epidemic, the culture of Brooklyn neighborhoods, Rikers Island in the 1980s, and the power of second chances. Michael also describes a dramatic courtroom moment where, facing serious federal charges, he convinced a judge to give him probation instead of prison after speaking honestly about recovery and wanting a different life. By the end, Michael reflects on his 36 years of sobriety, his children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, acting career, and belief that recovery is a lifelong process. Dave and Michael bond over drug dreams, gratitude, family, and the reality that while the desire to get high may never fully disappear, a meaningful life in recovery is infinitely better. The episode closes with Michael from the band Good Kid performing a live version of “Good So Bad,”  All that and MORE MORE MORE on the Wednesday dose of that good old Dopey Show!

During June of 1973 - the year the Grateful Dead got really good at being the Grateful Dead - the band played a weekend run at the gigantic RFK Stadium in the nation's capital. On day two the Dead went for nearly five hours - exploratory jams out the wazoo - including a third set sit-in by a couple of Allman Bros. The show was recorded by famed LSD manufacturer and group benefactor Owsley 'Bear' Stanley - and then dusted off fifty years later for official release by the musical gravediggers at Rhino Records.

Dopey Film Festival Tickets: https://buytickets.at/thedopeyfoundation/2216905 Patreon: www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast Long Summary This week's Total Replay features Dopey Episode 30, originally recorded in the Lower East Side apartment when Chris and Dave were still figuring out what the show would become. Dave opens by explaining why Episode 29 won't be replayed. It was Ray Brown's first appearance on Dopey, but Ray has repeatedly requested that his early appearances remain offline. Dave pays tribute to Ray and plugs the upcoming Dopey Recovery Film Festival before reflecting on how strange it is to revisit these early episodes. The episode begins with Chris bringing his then-girlfriend Karen onto the show. Karen and Chris discuss meeting on Tinder, their awkward early dates, Chris almost ghosting her, and the bizarre process of figuring out whether they were actually boyfriend and girlfriend. Dave relentlessly interrogates both of them about their relationship while Karen patiently tolerates the nonsense. Karen reveals she had already listened to Dopey before Chris realized it and shares what it was like hearing some of Chris's wilder stories for the first time. The conversation includes a hilarious story about Karen drunkenly inviting Chris over, only for him to arrive and find her passed out on the toilet. The show then veers into classic early Dopey territory: recovery debates, methadone arguments, active addicts, prison stories, and discussions about whether people on maintenance medications should qualify at meetings. The centerpiece of the episode is Chris's legendary LSD story: After relapsing while working at a sober living house, Chris begins ordering drugs from the Silk Road. He buys heroin, cocaine, and some incredibly strong LSD. While attempting to maintain the appearance of sobriety, he takes acid during a screening of The Wolf of Wall Street with his girlfriend Tina. By the time they return home, Chris is tripping hard and realizes his girlfriend is going to notice. His solution? Convince her he's experiencing HPPD (Hallucinogen Persisting Perception Disorder) brought on by meditation. Chris leads a meditation session, then pretends he's suddenly having an LSD flashback. Initially Tina believes him. Eventually guilt gets the better of him and he confesses. Then he immediately tries to convince her he didn't actually take acid after all, causing her to question her own reality before finally admitting the truth again. The story ends with Tina kicking him out while Chris, deep into the trip, worries less about the relationship and more about whether she'll make him carry home a gigantic cast-iron piggy bank he had previously given her as a gift. The episode closes with a discussion about recovery, why addicts laugh at horrifying things they've done, and how the absurdity of addiction becomes funny only after enough distance and healing. A bonafide dopey classic! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

When I was seventeen, I drove my parents' conversion van home from a party with a six-pack in my system and a freshly-dented bumper on a stranger's parked car. The officer who arrived at our house decided not to charge me with driving under the influence. He told me to go inside and sleep it off. I have thought about that night for thirty-five years.This episode is an essay reading. The material is personal. Three stories from my reckless adolescence in Richmond, Virginia, told plainly. The drinking and driving. The LSD afternoon at a Goochland County rock quarry. The way my parents finally put me in rehab and the way I was outraged when they did. I survived my adolescence on a margin of unearned protection that I did not deserve, and the survival did not feel, then, like the gift it was.The essay turns to the strangest passage in the Hebrew Bible. Genesis 32. Jacob wrestling the man who turns out to be God, holding on through the dislocated hip, refusing to let go without the blessing. The man gives Jacob a new name. Jacob leaves with a permanent limp. The limp is, in the strange grammar of the story, the proof that the blessing was real.The argument the essay makes is the argument the book it comes from rests on. The crisis of being nobody is not solved by the world finally recognizing you. The world is busy. The crisis is solved by the wrestling. The wrestling produces a self that can speak. The wrestling produces the work. The wrestling produces a person who has something to say because they have done the work of finding out what they are.The blessing is real. The limp is yours forever. So is the name.→ The Crisis of Being Nobody: forthcoming late 2026 from Crossroads Press → Submit a project: crossroadspublishing.group/inquire → Subscribe to The Descent: chadprevost.substack.com → Book a discovery call: Calendly here Get full access to The Descent at chadprevost.substack.com/subscribe

In this episode of the Observatory Podcast, Scott and LaRae Wright sit down with Dr. Reid Robison to explore psychedelic therapy methods, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, clinical research with psilocybin, MDMA, LSD, and the deeper relationship between mental health, spirituality, healing, and self-awareness. Dr. Robison shares how psychedelic medicines are being studied and used in careful therapeutic settings to help people work through depression, anxiety, PTSD, addiction, end-of-life fear, and deeply ingrained patterns of suffering. Together, they discuss the difference between symptom management and true healing, the importance of preparation and integration, the role of music as medicine, and why awareness may be one of the most powerful gifts these experiences can offer. This conversation also explores the future of psychedelic medicine, the evolving legal landscape, and the hope that these therapies may help more people access healing in safe, supported, and meaningful ways.Timestamps: [00:00:03] Welcome to The Observatory Podcast[00:00:17] Introducing Dr. Reid Robison and psychedelic therapy for mental health[00:05:40] Dr. Robison's path through psychiatry, ketamine, ayahuasca, MDMA, psilocybin, and LSD research[00:08:00] The 1960s, the war on drugs, and why psychedelic research disappeared for decades[00:13:35] Depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, and stuck thought patterns[00:16:10] Awareness, self-observation, and learning to see yourself clearly[00:19:31] The harm chart, psilocybin, alcohol, and rethinking risk[00:26:23] What ketamine is and how ketamine-assisted psychotherapy works[00:30:00] Preparation, dosing sessions, music, and integration[00:31:32] Neuroplasticity and reshaping old patterns[00:35:40] Music as medicine in psychedelic journeys[00:44:39] End-of-life anxiety, terminal illness, and psilocybin as a sacred passage[00:46:49] Spirituality, religion, and reconnecting with belief in a higher power[00:52:34] Healing stories, family work, couples work, MDMA, and PTSD[00:58:12] Psychedelic therapy, suicide, religion, and signs of cultural change[01:02:11] The future of psilocybin, MDMA, DMT, and legal therapeutic access[01:04:57] Self-awareness, sovereignty, and becoming your own curriculumNotable Quotes: “Psychedelics have proven to be a really effective way of doing that.

"Many summer tours are having to scale back or cancel altogether. The nickname given to this practice is Blue Dot Fever. It is named after the blue dots that appear on unsold seats when a ticket buyer uses Ticketmaster. It has become indicative of a larger societal and financial concern that is leading to people not being able to attend live music. We will explain."

The Baby Boom generation pioneered the counterculture movement of the 1960s so it's not so surprising that 50 years later they are using compounds like psilocybin and LSD with the goal to improve their overall quality of life. ​Today, we get into all of the above with Abbie Rosner, the author of the forthcoming book “Psychedelics and the Counterculture of Aging.” She researches and writes about how her generation of Baby Boomers is exploring the drugs of their youth to enhance their experience of aging. In "Psychedelics and the Counterculture of Aging," she suggests that the growing underground movement of older adults using psychedelics is helping rewrite the narrative around aging —as a time of healing, growth, spiritual deepening, joyous intimacy, supportive community, and acceptance of the inevitability of death. Abbie is a freelance journalist, writer, and public speaker based out of Washington, D.C., and she has written extensively on older adults, cannabis, and psychedelics for Forbes, Double Blind, and other journals since 2018. Her new book comes out in July 2026. ◘ Related Links Abbie Rosner's website https://www.abbierosner.com/ Johns Hopkins Center for Psychedelic and Consciousness Research https://www.hopkinspsychedelic.org/ NYU Langone Health's Center for Psychedelic Medicine https://bit.ly/4dvwAG6 UC Berkeley Center for the Science of Psychedelics https://psychedelics.berkeley.edu/ GW Integrative Medicine Podcast Medical Cannabis, Psilocybin, & More Playlist https://bit.ly/3RO8q0Z ◘ Transcript bit.ly/3JoA2mz ◘ Disclaimer: The content and information shared in GW Integrative Medicine is for educational purposes only and should not be taken as medical advice.

What if the key to healing depression, trauma, and disconnection wasn't about escaping yourself, but reconnecting to who you really are? In this episode of The Psychedelic Report, Dr. Dave Rabin sits down with author, coach, and veteran Benjamin Forest for a deeply personal conversation about psychedelics, spirituality, grief, and emotional healing. After spending 25 years in the military and struggling with treatment-resistant depression, PTSD, and suicidal ideation, Benjamin shares how one psilocybin ceremony completely transformed the course of his life. Together, he and Dr. Rabin explore the connection between psychedelics and spirituality, the loneliness epidemic, emotional suppression, grief, and the healing power of community and ceremony. They discuss why psychedelics can help people reconnect with themselves, others, and something greater, along with the difference between being taught spirituality and truly experiencing it. The conversation also touches on trauma, military culture, emotional repression, and how grief and vulnerability can become pathways to healing instead of something to fear. Benjamin also opens up about the importance of group ceremonies, the growing momentum behind psychedelic-assisted therapy for veterans, and why he believes LSD may be one of the most overlooked medicines in modern psychedelic research. From mystical experiences to neuroscience, this conversation explores what becomes possible when people finally feel safe enough to truly feel.

The ongoing outbreak of hantavirus infections that originated with passengers on the Dutch cruise ship MV Hondius in April has generated concerns across the globe. This very rare occurrence has led to a number of deaths, required quarantining of passengers and prompted emergency responses from public health authorities in multiple countries.  On this episode of Raise the Line from Elsevier, we're tapping the expertise of a leading authority on the subject, Dr. Jamie Childs of Yale University, to provide you with a scientific understanding of hantaviruses and what level of threat is posed by this situation. In short, Dr. Childs believes this is not the start of a pandemic. “The Andes variant involved here is one of the most dangerous hantaviruses, but it is totally controllable with contact tracing.” This timely conversation with host Lindsey Smith is informed by Dr. Childs' decades of hantavirus research as well as learnings from his role leading the CDC's environmental investigation during the landmark 1993 hantavirus outbreak in the Four Corners region of the American Southwest. And be sure to stay tuned to hear his concerns about the factors complicating containment of the current Ebola outbreak in East Africa. Note: this conversation was recorded on May 19th, 2026.

Ever thought the so-called ‘golden decade' of the 1960s was only about peace and love? Think again. Beneath the surface, it was riddled with violence, paranoia, and chaos, even in its most iconic moments.   So says James Riley, a writer whose work explores the darker edges of late-1960s and 1970s counterculture. His 'The Bad Trip' is an acclaimed study of apocalypse, occultism, paranoia and the collapse of the hippie dream at the end of the 1960s.   We examine the romanticised narrative of peace, love, and idealism, revealing how beneath the surface lurked a shadow of violence, paranoia, and societal fractures. How figures like Charles Manson emerged not as aberrations, but as products and archetypes of the era.    We talk Jung, LSD, The Trickster archetype, Manson, John Lennon and Yoko Ono, the committee for The Summer of Love, to see how the darkness beneath the light reveals more about human nature than the utopian stories we often tell, and how it was the inspiration for some truly great art.   For the list of countercultural films we discuss - and more - go HERE    ---   If you can contribute to this crazy endeavour, join our Patreon HERE   Thank you to everyone who's signed up to support the show —that means a lot.

James Sexton joins the show for a powerful conversation on the raw truth behind human relationships, personal transformation, and the evolution of consciousness. For decades, James has been one of the world's most sought-after divorce attorneys, navigating the most intimate and fractured dynamics of love. In this episode, he steps away from traditional marriage advice to explore a side of his life he has never publicly shared: the profound impact that psychedelics, specifically LSD and psilocybin, have had on his spirituality, worldview, and healing. Sexton breaks down how realizing the finitude of love and life can completely reframe our priorities, shifting our focus away from trivial conflicts and toward deep connection. He also dives into the root causes of relationship breakdowns, the illusion of outer appearance versus inner strength, and the myth of emotional closure. Watch until the end to understand how facing our darkest moments and dismantling the ego allows us to cultivate authentic intimacy and build meaningful relationships before time runs out.

We mark National Mental Health Awareness Month on this episode by tapping the expertise of Dr. Steve Strakowski, an internationally recognized expert in bipolar disorder, who has spent decades studying the neurobiology and treatment of mood conditions while pushing just as hard on the structural barriers that keep effective treatments out of reach for more than half the people who need them. In this conversation with Raise the Line from Elsevier host Michael Carrese, Dr. Strakowski explains why access, not science, is now the biggest obstacle to improving mental health outcomes. He also addresses the heavy toll society pays for underfunding mental health prevention and treatment programs. “The money is spent eventually, but in the most expensive places like emergency rooms and prisons, and there is the human cost of suffering and suicides." This important discussion also covers: The persistent problem of Black patients presenting with mania being misdiagnosed with schizophrenia;  Why he describes bipolar disorder as a reward-processing illness;  The emerging therapies he finds encouraging.

Ospite del 204° episodio di Illuminismo Psichedelico è l'etnobotanico Daniele Palmieri, noto ai più come Etnobotanica Errante nelle sue manifestazioni social. Con Daniele abbiamo parlato delle piante psicoattive del Mediterraneo, partendo dagli usi e dai miti dei greci e dei romani, passando per Eleusi e gli altri santuari e culti che ruotavano attorno a piante dotate di queste proprietà, passando per Asclepio, gli erbari antichi e scandagliando essenze come Papaver somniferum, alloro, edera, vite, giusquiamo, mandragora e tante altre. 

Chief and Lou discuss government investment in quantum stocks, the Trump family/IRS settlement and forced diversity. Andrew and Wayne jump on the air to talk Harvard's history with LSD centers and US debt.

Are psychedelics the next big thing?Psychedelics include the drugs LSD, magic mushrooms, peyote, and often ketamine and MDMA too, among others. And some of these drugs have a history of spiritual practice spanning millennia. Then many of these drugs became synonymous with hippies and 60s and 70s counterculture.  But now, psychedelics have new cheerleaders: tech bros and CEOs. So why the rebrand?To get into it all, Brittany is joined by Maxim Tvorun-Dunn, PhD candidate at the University of Tokyo, and Emma Goldberg, business reporter at the New York Times, to discuss what it means that these drugs are getting championed – and sometimes financially backed – by the tech elite, and how might that affect our culture's relationship with psychedelics.This episode originally aired on March 24, 2025.Interested in hearing more of Brittany's series "Losing My Religion?"

Dopey Film Festival: https://buytickets.at/thedopeyfoundation/2216905 Listen without ads www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast This week on the Wednesday Dose of Dopey, Dave opens the show with Brer Brian's Dopey Wednesday anthem and immediately starts hustling tickets for the upcoming Dopey Short Film Festival in New York City. Dave explains that only nine tickets have sold so far and promises cheap tickets, food, fellowship, desserts, filmmakers, and recovery community vibes. He begs the Dopey Nation to come out and support the event while Winnie the dog barks in the background. Before getting to the main interview, Dave plays an absolutely insane voicemail from longtime Dopey contributor JD DeHart about surviving a cocaine overdose during a three-day binge in a trailer in Mississippi when he was 20 years old. JD describes an old-school coke and crack marathon involving an entire ounce of cocaine, nonstop shooting coke, smoking crack, drinking beer, no sleep, no food, and no water. He vividly recounts doing a gigantic shot of cocaine and suddenly entering a terrifying paralysis where he could hear and see everything but couldn't move a single part of his body. JD compares the experience to the Metallica “One” video and explains how his paranoid dealer friend may have saved his life by slapping him awake, giving him water and food, and slowly bringing him out of the overdose. Naturally, once he recovered, the first thing he did was smoke an enormous crack hit. Dave praises the voicemail and thanks JD for consistently contributing incredible stories to the show. Dave then dives into Patreon and Spotify comments responding to last week's controversial Blake Mycoskie episode. Listeners debate rich-guy recovery, psychedelic therapy, AI therapy, polo, founder culture, and whether wealthy people talking about depression is relatable to the average Dopey listener. Some commenters defend the episode and appreciate hearing about mental health and self-worth, while others say they turned it off the moment Blake started discussing AI therapy or learning polo in Argentina. Dave jokes that people should blame John Bukaty for bringing in “woo-woo guests,” but still says he genuinely liked Blake and appreciated trying something different. The comment section also leads to discussions about recovery, privilege, treatment access, government responsibility for addiction, and Dave's ongoing balancing act between growing Dopey and maintaining authenticity. Dave also reads a moving Spotify comment from a listener celebrating 120 days clean after a devastating relapse that nearly destroyed his marriage and relationship with his child. Other listeners compliment Dave's podcasting skills, compare his intros to Marc Maron, and joke about Tesla AI therapy and rich recovery people. Dave also contemplates launching a higher Patreon tier with an exclusive Zoom while openly joking about his “cynical cash grab” tendencies and his need to support his family. The centerpiece of the episode is Dave's long conversation with Skinny Vinny inside Steve-O's Wild Ride podcast van in Sherman Oaks, California. The interview covers almost every phase of Vinny's chaotic life story. Vinny explains how the Wild Ride podcast went on hiatus after backlash surrounding a sarcastic Steve-O clip from an episode with Harlan Williams that got taken out of context online. Vinny talks openly about Steve-O's sensitivity, internet outrage culture, and the emotional toll of constant public criticism. The conversation then shifts into Vinny's upbringing in Connecticut and his lifelong obsession with Jackass. Vinny tells the story of being a kid with a camera glued to his hand, idolizing Bam Margera and Jeff Tremaine, and eventually convincing Bam to punch him in the face at a skate shop signing when he was a teenager. Dave and Vinny reminisce about old Jackass dreams eventually becoming reality years later through recovery and content creation. Vinny dives deep into his addiction history, including following Phish and Bob Weir tours while constantly inhaling nitrous balloons in parking lots, discovering Silk Road drug markets in Vermont, and eventually falling into severe heroin addiction. He recounts horrifying years living in Vermont, where heroin was outrageously expensive, and where he watched his girlfriend overdose in front of her parents after both of them desperately tried to detox using kratom. Vinny also describes his obsession with needles, famously saying, “If I could rig it, I could dig it,” while discussing shooting heroin and eventually shooting liquid LSD purchased from Silk Road. One of the darkest sections of the interview involves Vinny describing his infamous “porta potty bottom.” After burning every bridge and alienating everyone in his life, Vinny ended up secretly living inside a handicapped-sized porta potty in Connecticut while hustling to survive. He explains his daily routine of waking up at sunrise, hiding blankets in bushes, charging his Obama phone at Dunkin Donuts, stealing energy drinks from grocery stores, selling them to bodegas, buying heroin and crack, and repeating the cycle endlessly. Dave and Vinny talk about the terrifying comfort that comes with fully accepting life as a hopeless junkie. Vinny also recounts his arrest, jail sentence, and the legendary “prison pocket” story. Knowing he had to turn himself in, Vinny literally trained his body to smuggle heroin, Xanax, rolling tobacco, papers, and even needles into jail. He explains how he eventually ran out of drugs behind bars and suffered brutally through withdrawal on the top bunk in jail while promising himself he'd never use again — only to get released and immediately return to hustling and heroin. The interview takes a more hopeful turn as Vinny explains how recovery unexpectedly transformed his life. He talks about meeting Zackass in sober living, becoming indispensable behind the camera, eventually becoming a co-host, and later joining Steve-O's Wild Ride. Vinny describes feeling like recovery gave him the exact life he fantasized about as a kid obsessed with Jackass culture. Dave and Vinny repeatedly discuss the strange intersection of manifestation, luck, spirituality, showing up, and being willing to work hard without getting high. Later in the interview, Vinny opens up emotionally about his failed marriage to a Canadian woman, the devastating heartbreak that followed, and the depression that nearly broke him. He describes locking himself in his apartment for 45 days, barely eating, crying himself to sleep, and seriously considering drinking despite years of sobriety. Instead of relapsing, Vinny redirected all of his pain into fitness, weight loss, and self-improvement. He explains how discovering peptides, returning to the gym, diving back into recovery meetings and service work, and focusing entirely on himself ultimately helped him lose over 200 pounds and completely transform his life. The episode ends with Vinny discussing his plans to open a sober living house called The Comeback with a former client from his early recovery days. Dave and Vinny also joke about Canadians, Dopeywood structure problems, podcasting, body dysmorphia, fear dreams, and the strange reality of surviving addiction long enough to accidentally build a meaningful life. Dave closes the episode asking listeners yet again to buy film festival tickets, join Patreon, leave Spotify comments, send voicemails, and stay involved in the Dopey community before ending, as always, with “Stay strong Dopey Nation and fucking toodles for Chris.” Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

How can a substance often misunderstood as a recreational drug become the "Swiss Army knife" of emotional healing and relationship repair? Is it possible to access your most loving, non-defensive self to resolve even the deepest of traumas and conflicts?   In this episode, Dr. Adriana Popescu is joined by Jonathan Robinson, a former psychotherapist, bestselling author of 16 books, and a pioneer in the field of MDMA-assisted therapy. Having led over 700 MDMA journeys, Jonathan shares the profound potential of this medicine to foster open, non-defensive communication and radical emotional healing. Together, they explore the critical distinction between recreational use and therapeutic intention, the fascinating history of MDMA, and how this unique tool can help individuals and couples return to their original blueprint of love and connection.   In this episode: Defining the Medicine: Understanding the unique properties of MDMA and how it differs from traditional psychedelics like psilocybin or LSD. The Swiss Army Knife of Therapy: Why MDMA is uniquely effective for treating PTSD, anxiety, and long-standing relationship conflicts. Set and Setting: The vital importance of intentionality and a safe environment in creating a transformative healing experience. Accelerated Healing: How MDMA can help clients accomplish "two years of therapy in one afternoon.” Love & Personal Transformation: Moving stories of healing and specific protocols for using MDMA to create more love and less conflict in intimate relationships.   Resources mentioned in this episode: Jonathan's Website: xtcasmedicine.com Facilitator Training: mdmatraining.net (Use coupon code KOP200 for $200 off) Book: Ecstasy for Couples: How MDMA Therapy Can Help You to Create More Love and Less Conflict in Your Relationship and Ecstasy as Medicine. https://www.amazon.com/Ecstasy-Couples-Therapy-Conflict-Relationship/dp/B0G5K44M2K   About Jonathan: Jonathan Robinson is a former psychotherapist, bestselling author of 16 books, and one of the earliest pioneers of MDMA-assisted therapy.

Microdosing is everywhere right now, but most people are doing it completely wrong. In this conversation with Paul Austin, founder of Third Wave and author of Mastering Microdosing, we dive deep into why the sub-perceptual model everyone talks about misses the mark, how microdosing differs fundamentally from meditation (and why that matters), and what the latest clinical research actually shows. We explore the overlooked power of intention, the neuroscience of the 5-HT2A receptor, and why Albert Hoffman may have been onto something for those final 30 years of his life. If you're curious about psychedelics but don't know where to start, or if you're already exploring this space, this episode cuts through the noise. 00:00 Microdosing: Most People Are Doing It Wrong03:51 What Is Microdosing?

Cold War Series. Episode #3 of 4. The Allied victory in World War II meant an end to war with the fascists in Germany, Japan, and Italy, but it did not mean an end to war. In fact, the war just shifted into something more shadowy and covert, where secret weapons, sleight of hand, and leveraging information could be more important than guns and bombs. Desperate to develop tactics and secret weapons that might give them an upper hand over their new Soviet enemies, the United States began to experiment on drugs like LSD, hoping that they might give them the power to control minds, get fodder for blackmail, or extract information from captured spies. The project, run by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) from roughly 1953-1973, cost thousands of dollars, hundreds of deaths, and inflicted innumerable human rights violations and ended in complete and utter failure. It did not result in a single piece of useful information. Today, as part of our series on the Cold War, we're talking about project MK Ultra.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to have back on the show: Satanic ritual abuse, sexual abuse, and religious abuse survivor, visionary artist and acrylic painter, business owner and entrepreneur, sunset lover, color connoisseur, mental and spiritual health warrior, social media content creator, podcast host, inspiration to survivors all over the world, and someone I'm honored to call my dear friend: Kibbi LingaKibbi's story is one of profound courage rising from the depths of unimaginable darkness. Born into a multi-generational satanic cult where her own mother served as high priestess and primary abuser, Kibbi endured ritual abuse, sexual abuse, religious trauma, and unimaginable cruelty from the very beginning of her life. Hidden behind a facade of Catholicism, the family twisted faith into a weapon, while her mother led harrowing rituals and her father facilitated the aftermath. Some of her earliest memories of being drugged with LSD, conditioned through dolls to repeat the cycle, confined in cages, and forced to witness and participate in atrocities - paint a picture of a childhood stolen by generational trauma and narcissistic control.Yet even in that darkness, a quiet flame of defiance burned within her. As a little girl, Kibbi made a sacred promise to herself: one day she would break free, become an artist, and expose the truth. That promise became her anchor.Today, she is fulfilling it with breathtaking strength. In sharing her testimony, Kibbi courageously honors innocent lives lost to ritualistic and organized abuse - such as young Sam, whose memory she carries with tenderness and purpose. Every step of her healing journey has been hard-won, a testament to her resilience as she reclaims her voice, her power, and her future. Through it all, art emerged as her sanctuary, her rebellion, and ultimately her redemption. Painting became the lifeline that lifted her from despair, allowing her to breathe, create, and connect with the world in ways trauma once tried to silence.From those painted expressions of pain and triumph, Kibbi Linga Art Gallery was born - a radiant space where her canvases speak powerfully of survival, transformation, and hope. Each piece stands as living proof that even the deepest wounds can become sources of light, that creativity can rewrite the darkest scripts, and that one determined soul can break generational chains and inspire countless others to do the same. In Kibbi's past episodes, we have discussed her testimony and pieces of her recovery journey. Today, years into her healing and recovery journey, she is finally experiencing joy, peace, contentment and happiness in moments and in ways she never thought possible. With so many other survivors suffering today through similar recovery journeys through traumatic and extreme ritualistic abuse, the bridge between recovering memories and living life as normally as possible is an entire testimony of it's own for those who walk that path. And Kibbi is here today to share her own journey of recovery including where she looked for help, how she navigated and overcame triggers and negative beliefs, how she stayed motivated in times where it would have been easier to give up or quit, resources that helped her along the way, the healing power of creativity and art, how she came to view her testimony as a privilege and gift to give others, and so much more. Kibbi's journey reminds us all: no matter how overwhelming the darkness once was, the human spirit—when fueled by courage, creativity, and unwavering hope—can rise, create beauty, and light the way forward for others. She is not only surviving; she is thriving, creating, and shining as a beacon of healing and empowerment.Kibbi's unbreakable spirit is a powerful reminder that healing is possible, that voices silenced for generations can roar with truth and beauty, and that every brushstroke she makes is an act of victory. She is living proof that trauma does not get the final word - light, love, and creativity do. She continues to shine brightly as a warrior artist; the world is brighter because she refused to stay broken and instead chose to become a masterpiece of resilience.CONNECT WITH KIBBI:Website: https://kibbilinga.com/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@kibbi.linga?_t=8mJyYgVcFGF&_r=1IG: https://www.instagram.com/kibbi.linga/ & https://www.instagram.com/kibbi.linga.art/Twitter: https://twitter.com/KibbiLingaLinkTree: https://linktr.ee/KibbilingaCONNECT WITH EMMA:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@imaginationpodcastofficialRumble: https://rumble.com/c/TheImaginationPodcastEMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com OR standbysurvivors@protonmail.comMy Substack: https://emmakatherine.substack.com/BUY ME A COFFEE: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/theimaginationVENMO: @emmapreneurCASHAPP: $EmmaKatherine1204All links: https://direct.me/theimaginationpodcastSupport the show

In June 1970, Dock Ellis of the Pittsburgh Pirates somehow tossed a no-hitter while tripping on acid. The LSD stunt made him a legend, but it overshadowed a much deeper story: a man who spent the second half of his life searching for redemption, purpose, and a way to help others escape the same darkness that once enveloped him. * Today's episode was produced in partnership with School of Humans.

“Can humans possess one another?” This question opens a discussion on the nature of influence and control, including the implications of brainwashing techniques. Additionally, the episode addresses what happens to souls in purgatory at the end of the world and whether it’s morally acceptable to seek the identity of a ghost that may be trying to communicate. Other intriguing topics include the concept of fallen guardian angels and their replacements. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 03:40 – can human beings possess one another? For example: would brainwashing techniques done by the CIA and other government agencies with the use of LSD and other mind-altering drugs count as possession? My understanding is that the subject's personality is changed, and they become very influenceable. Is this a form of possession by humans? 20:07 – My 9-year-old son loves listening to your show. He is wondering if you could shed any light on what might happen to the souls in purgatory when the end of the world comes. Do they get forcibly zapped through the rest of their purification process? 33:21 – If you have good reason to believe a ghost in purgatory is trying to get your attention, is it morally okay to ask them to reveal their identity? Context: a few years ago I was home alone with my newborn daughter on All Souls Day and heard repeated loud rattling sounds coming from the kitchen. The baby began screaming. I calmly walked out and said, “Whoever is bothering my baby, go away.” The rattling stopped and I have never heard it since. I have had Mass said for the soul, and also for one person I suspect it might have been, but I am not sure. Is it forbidden to ask for such knowledge or should I be content to wait? 44:37 – Are there fallen guardian angels, if so do we get a replacement if our intended guardian angel fell?

"When the workforce does not align with the population, your system is misaligned by design." That candid observation comes from Tina Loarte-Rodríguez, DP, RN who has spent much of her two decade career in patient safety, risk management, and systems leadership as the only Latina in the room, which she sees as a signal of a systemic failure that demands structural solutions. As we mark National Nurses Month, Dr. Loarte-Rodríguez joins Raise the Line from Elsevier  host Lindsey Smith to explain why a culturally congruent workforce has important implications for access, trust and quality of care. This wide-ranging discussion also covers: What Dr. Loarte-Rodriguez means by "narrative infrastructure" and how a book series born during COVID is now shaping workforce conversations nationwide;   The case for making mentorship a core institutional system;   Why nursing burnout is not about a lack of resiliency.  Mentioned in this episode: Latinas in NursingThe Connecticut Center for Nursing Workforce If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.
