“The dancing bears, the steal your face logo, they're probably known on Mars at this point,” says artist ESPO. In this episode, we're asking why these images have such staying power, and Emmett talks to LA streetwear label Online Ceramics, who's Dead-inspired tee shirts have introduced a whole new generation to the psychedelic era. Once you speak the Dead's visual language, you'll see it everywhere. Credits:America's Dead is produced by work by work: Scott Newman, Jemma Brown, Kathleen Ottinger, Alex Kapelman, and Ben Montoya.

Ezra Koenig is an unlikely evangelist for the Grateful Dead, and that's exactly why we brought him on the show. In this first episode of America's Dead, hear the Vampire Weekend frontman defend the wisdom of “hippie psychedelic nonsense” and reveal what has inspired him most as a songwriter. Plus in this episode, Koenig imagines that if Kurt Cobain were alive today, he too would be a Deadhead.

“The Grateful Dead saved me,” says Dr. Varun Soni, Dean of Religious Life at the University of Southern California. And he's not alone. In this episode, Dr. Soni argues that the Dead are actually a religion, and we meet Sage, a student of Dr. Soni, whose encounter with the Dead's music at age 21 has helped guide both her gender transition and spiritual growth.

“The Grateful Dead viewed the very idea of planning as being some kind of fascist concept” says Sam Culter, the Dead's tour manager from 1969 to 1974. Cutler is the guy who finally turned the Dead into a business, but it was an uphill battle the whole way. “The business model was made essentially by a kind of strange hippie default mechanism that worked in mysterious ways.” In this episode, stories from inside the strange hippie default mechanism. Emmett sits down with Sam Cutler and the stories get… pretty unbelievable.

It all began with a bag of mushrooms… and a bolt of lightning. Today, Paul Stamets is the world's most famous mycologist (mushroom scientist) but we begin by going back to the fateful day when young Paul, loaded up on psilocybin, climbed a tree in the middle of a thunderstorm. In this episode, Paul's story is our gateway to learning about the long strange history of psychedelics in America, and how the Dead brought mushrooms mainstream.

Emmett sits down with Mac DeMarco and members of the band Animal Collective, artists who are keeping the spirit of the Dead alive today – not just in the music they make, but in the community they cultivate.

Branford Marsalis is a world famous jazz saxophonist and three time GRAMMY Award winner. Then, in the early 90s, Marsalis joined the Dead onstage for a series of shows now widely considered to be the best of that era. For Branford, it wasn't the music that stuck with him from that experience, it was how the audience was listening to it.

The editor, Jerome Whittingham, loves the sound of the rain. HULL IS THIS was invited to learn more about a project that’s exploring how rainwater can be managed in urban areas. It’s a project called MAGIC Bilton, there’s a sister project too, called MAGIC Derringham. The MAGIC projects are working with residents in these areas of Hull, UK, to look at ways that rainwater can be better managed, and creative thinking is being encouraged. The research project is led by the Department of Urban Studies and Planning at the University of Sheffield, in collaboration with the Hull and East Riding ‘Living with Water’ Partnership, and Timebank Hull & East Riding. They’ve commissioned a couple of community artists to help stimulate the conversation, and gather residents thoughts and ideas. The artists are Rachel Elm and Jemma Brown. We're also joined by Steven Dale, Clerk for Bilton Parish Council.

what does it mean to leave your garden behind? featuring jemma, marcus, chad, and margot.
In 1767, a young French servant boarded a ship and sailed around the world, collecting plants previously unknown to Western science. The ship’s crew knew the servant as “Jean,” the scrappy aide to the expedition’s botanist. But “Jean” had a secret. She was actually Jeanne Baret, a woman disguised as a man—and she was about to make botanical history. Annie and Elah recently told this story for a live audience at On Air Fest. Here are some of the pictures from that talk. There are, of course, no photos of Jeanne Baret, but we do have this portrait of her as imagined by an unknown artist a few years after her death. (Via Wikimedia Commons) Philibert Commerson, the botanist on the expedition, Baret’s boss, and believed to be her lover as well. (By P. Pagnier via Wikimedia Commons) A plant collected on Baret's expedition over 200 years ago! Many specimens from that expedition are still kept in plant libraries around the world. We don’t know which ones she collected herself herself—they’re all credited to Commerson—but we know she did a lot of his collecting.
