Brad Adams — LAMPS (Los Angeles Psychedelic Society) joins Kyle to trace his path from PhD researcher to community builder. Brad shares how early work in AIDS, Alzheimer's, gerontology, and cancer research primed him to notice Harbor-UCLA's psilocybin pilot for stage-4 cancer patients with death anxiety—where the strongest mystical experiences correlated with profound death acceptance. Teaming with Dennis McKenna, he ran an ayahuasca pilot in Peru and presented findings at Psychedelic Science 2017. From there, Brad founded LAMPS: first as research meetups at UCLA, then as a thriving hub hosting speakers and, ultimately, an L.A. psychedelic conference. He previews the November 1 event at Above the Block in West L.A.: daytime panels on cannabis, preparation/integration, and music & psychedelics; a vendor hall; and a “Healing Lounge” with bodywork, astrology, human design, and more—closing with a late-night dance party featuring David Starfire. Brad offers grounded advice for starting local communities (begin small, meet regularly, curate safe dialogue, and moderate firmly), and reflects on platform friction around psychedelics. The conversation widens to DMTx (extended-state DMT), entity encounters, and what humble, relational curiosity can reveal—then to Wetiko, IFS, and the hero's journey as frames for keeping hope alive in turbulent times. A candid and practical tour of research, resilience, and real-world community building.

This week's SGV Connect features a pair of interviews by Damien Newton. Don't worry Chris fans, the next podcast has already been recorded and it has a pair conducted by Chris Greenspon. The first interview this week is with Felicial Friesema about the big changes that have occurred in September with Foothill Transit Coverage. Of course, the SGV's bus agency had to create new routes for the A-Line stations that opened in Glendora, San Dimas, La Verne, and Pomona; but the transit agency also opened a new bus line, Line 295, to serve Cal Poly Pomona and Mt. San Antonio College (Mt. Sac). A transcript of that interview can be found below the podcast embed. Our second interview is a rebroadcast of last week's StreetSmart podcast from Streetsblog California. The episode features Transform CA's Zack Deutsch-Gross and we break down the recently concluded legislative session. To listen to that episode by itself, or for a transcript of the interview, click here.   SGV Connect is supported by Foothill Transit, offering car-free travel throughout the San Gabriel Valley with connections to the new Gold Line Stations across the Foothills and Commuter Express lines traveling into the heart of downtown L.A.

Going Good Places.” Sign-up for our SGV Connect Newsletter, coming to your inbox on Fridays!       Damien We're here with Felicia Friesema from Foothill Transit. There have been a few big changes since the last time we talked—outside of the regular route adjustments—especially with the… I was going to say Gold Line. Am I allowed to say “Gold Line” here?  Felicia Friesema Not anymore, dude. It's the A Line. Damien When I'm with the Construction Authority, they still let me call it the Gold Line. Felicia Well, because “Gold Line” is still in their name. But yeah, it's the A Line now. Damien Fine. The new “A Line” stations opened, and you also launched a new bus route. Let's start there. What can you tell us about the 295? It opened last week. And while it serves a Gold Line—uh, A Line—station… I'm going to let people in on something Chris Greenspawn knows well: I mess this up in our ad copy at least once a month and we have to re-shoot it. Felicia (laughs) Damien So if you ever hear Chris say, “Why don't you read that ad copy, Damien?” It's usually because I've already messed it up. Anyway, you launched a new bus line serving an A Line station, but you opened it before the A Line station opened. Tell us about Route 295. Felicia Yes! Congratulations to us. I'm really happy about it. Line 295 is one of our shorter lines—it only serves three stops. It runs between San Dimas Station, Cal Poly Pomona at Temple, and the Mt. SAC Transit Center. Service is Monday through Friday, 6 a.m. to 7 p.m., with 20-minute intervals. We opened on the 15th to introduce people to the new line. We honestly didn't expect much ridership at first—and we were proved wrong very quickly. On the first day alone, we had over 200 rides. We weren't expecting that at all, which means we've got a lot of non–light rail-oriented riders on that line. Damien Just to be clear: you weren't expecting ridership on day one until the rail station opened, right? Felicia Correct—thank you for clarifying that, Damien. We weren't expecting ridership to really kick in until the A Line opened on the 19th. We started the service early to get a sense of traffic patterns, especially on Temple between Cal Poly and Mt. SAC. That area can get pretty hairy at certain times of day when school's in session. We wanted to see how the schedule would run. Little did we know it would become really useful to a lot of people right away. And then, of course, ridership picked up again when the Gold Line—see, I just did it— Damien (laughs) Felicia —when the A Line opened on Friday. Damien This line mostly serves the college campuses. You're expecting students, professors, and people accessing the campus from farther away. It's not quite a first-mile/last-mile connection—it's a bit longer than that—but it's both a rail connector and a local route now. Felicia Exactly. Cal Poly Pomona and Mt. SAC have long been commuter campuses. Cal Poly does have dorms, but a significant number of students drive or take transit from far away—some from downtown L.A., some from Fontana. Having a smooth, easy transit option is definitely a plus for them. Damien As my kids get older, we're starting to look at colleges for my son, who's a sophomore. We've heard: don't sleep on local schools. People undervalue them—especially if they're used to traveling for college. I live in West L.A. and have heard plenty about people commuting to Cal Poly Pomona. I'm not as familiar with Mt. SAC—my kids' interests don't line up with their specialties—but I've already noticed the rail connection. My kid (or I) would only have to transfer twice to get there by train instead of driving. Felicia Exactly. Damien The big transportation story in the San Gabriel Valley right now is the four new A Line stations that opened on Friday. Joe did a Streetsblog story about it. We're going to go out and ride it together soon. How does this impact what you do? It's not just providing connections to stations—you've probably got some bus lines that can be almost replaced by rail. I imagine it's a lot of work every time a new station opens. Felicia It is, but it's good work. When the A Line—then the Gold Line—first started opening in the San Gabriel Valley, we had one line across the Foothill corridor called the 187. We've since split that into the 187 and 188, with Azusa as the midpoint. We thought we'd lose significant ridership along that corridor when the A Line opened… And—see, I'm going back and forth, too. Damien Yeah, it's not easy. Felicia Gold Line for history's sake; A Line for now. Anyway, we found that while travel patterns changed, our ridership wasn't heavily impacted by the opening of the Gold/A Line. Splitting the 187 into two lines also improved schedule adherence. We learned some people needed to get into Pasadena and others into Claremont, so having a transfer in the middle made the line more efficient. We still watch the area very closely. That earlier experience became our blueprint for how service might be affected by these new stations. We're not anticipating major shifts, but we're keeping a close eye on it. We've also worked to get our service closer to the stations for first-mile/last-mile connectivity. For the most part, it's just another great way to make sure people are getting on transit. Damien There's a post on your website—we've been linking to it in the SGV Connect newsletter. It's literally foothilltransit.org/article/foothilltransit-and-metrorail. It shows all the connections to the various stations for people who want to access them. And your website always does a little extra—like highlighting local businesses around the stations. I always appreciate that. Felicia Yes. Damien So it's probably too early to see how 295 has been impacted by the station opening. Friday was a special day, then you had a weekend. We're recording this Monday the 22nd—the second weekday the line and station are both open. Any interesting early observations from the A Line stations and your transit service? Felicia Yes, actually. We're very excited about this and keeping track of where ridership is growing. Fridays are usually low ridership days—people take off early or make it a three-day weekend. But we had really solid ridership on the 295 out of San Dimas Station the first day the A Line was open. We expect that number to grow. We're partnering heavily with the schools and relying on a lot of word of mouth. We're also looking at how other lines are impacted. It's hard to tell exactly how much ridership is shifting because you can't always tell if a boarding is from the street or a transfer from the A Line. We're sending people out to make sure connections are smooth and to help riders with questions. These are still early days, but we're keeping close tabs. Damien I was talking to a friend over the weekend—he's in the industry—and he suggested I ask: Do you think these new stations will mean more overall ridership, or less on the bus lines? I always assumed people would ride the train instead of the bus. His hypothesis is that you'll more than make up for that with people who weren't riding transit at all but will now ride the train and need the bus for the last leg. Felicia I think in the short term, yes. With something like this, you have to take a long view. Our surveys consistently show: the more transit service is available and frequent, the more people ride—period. Any new transit service—more connectivity, more frequency, more access—is good for all transit. In the short term, there may be some shifts as travel patterns change. But long term, anything that makes transit more familiar, accessible, and easy to use is good across the board. Damien All right. Any closing thoughts, or anything I didn't ask that you think listeners should know? Felicia Just one thing about the La Verne Station. We've seen a lot of chatter about accessibility—specifically about having a stop closer to the station or buses going directly into the station. Unfortunately, they weren't able to make the adjustments needed for a proper bus turnaround. We were hoping they could. The Construction Authority is turning the project over to Metro, so it'll be in Metro's hands going forward. We'll partner with them to make it more accessible. For now, bus service will be across the street rather than directly in the station. Damien I did notice on the map that there's a new stop on the 197 significantly closer than the previous ones. Felicia Correct. Damien But the hope is you'll be able to go directly into the station in the medium-term future? Felicia Correct. We'll say the “hopeful” future. Damien Obviously it's not happening next month, but hopefully Metro can make that fix reasonably soon. Felicia We hope. We hope, we hope. But yes, we've adjusted the line as much as possible to make it more accessible. Damien All right. Thank you so much for your time. We usually do an end-of-year check-in around November or December—let's plan on that. Felicia Those are fun. Let's make it an AMA. Damien Oh, we could do that. That'd be fun. Felicia Yeah, let's do an AMA. I loved the last one we did. Damien I always like when people send me questions anonymously, even though you and I can almost immediately guess who sent them. Felicia For sure. We know you guys. We do. Damien Anyway, thank you so much for this. We'll check in again. I've gotten more interested in how bus and rail work together—after watching the last Gold Line extensions and even locally with the Expo (excuse me, E Line) here—how that impacted Big Blue Bus and Metro Bus service. I started as a bike guy, but this has become fascinating to me. Felicia Yes, come to the dark side, Damien.

A Bump School BackStory - A Common ThreadWelcome to this special edition of PSYCHOTIC BUMP SCHOOL's LIVE funk and soul musical escapade—a deeply personal sonic expedition threading ancestral echoes, cultural legacy, and unforgettable performances. These sets aren't just recordings—they're living testaments to the moments that made me fall in love with music, each artist forming a vital strand in the Common Thread that weaves through my personal soundscape, across geography, memory, and soul.No group has shaped my musical worldview more than The Isley Brothers. During their legendary 3 + 3 era—when Ernie and Marvin Isley along with brother-in-law Chris Jasper (rest in peace) joined their big brothers O'Kelly, Rudolph, and Ronald, they became a creative powerhouse. Writing, producing, and performing their own material, they blended funk, rock, and soul into a timeless eargasmic sound-piece. I once saw them at The Beverly Theater in West L.A., where Ernie, my all-time favorite guitarist, played with both precision and passion—his solos part anthem, part sermon. A later acoustic clip here reveals a softer, more intimate side of his artistry.It's widely known that Jimi Hendrix spent time with the Isley Brothers early in his career—even living in their home for a period, jamming on the family's living room couch while a young Ernie looked on. Therefore, the most jaw-dropping Isley moment I've ever witnessed came around 1990 during a rare Ernie Isley solo show. Mid-set, he picked up a left-handed guitar—despite being right-handed—and played it with flawless soul and dexterity. A whispered legend among die-hard fans, and I saw it firsthand! A deeply rare, fleeting moment of brilliance—a glimpse into the sacred lineage from Hendrix to Isley, from couch jam sessions to stages lit by legend.Now to Black Kennedy by August Greene—a powerful one-off collaboration between Common, Robert Glasper, Karriem Riggins, and Samora Pinderhughes (not pictured). I've seen Common live more than any other MC. His tribute to Dilla and Karriem (or “Reem”) on this track struck a chord. I once met Karriem at L.A.'s Do-Over party. Despite sharing stages with giants, he remembered my name and greeted me with the warmth, humility & respect of someone deeply rooted in Detroit's rich musical tradition-from the "D" to L.A. With the spirits of the late Dilla and Amp Fiddler in the mix, this set carries a joy that's truly uncommon.  Lastly, Samora's understated vocals may seem minimal at first, but their honesty and simplicity carry quiet strength.Then there's Tweet—with a capital “T.” I've admired her for years & once spoke with her briefly after an interview with her guitarist Charlie Bereal. That moment truly stuck with me. Seeing her live revealed a whole new & surprising dimension: gritty, sultry, and unexpectedly fierce. Think Betty Davis meets Tina Turner—cheetah-smooth with gospel heat. A revelation!And finally, Erykah Badu—the high priestess of soul and queen of the unexpected. I once opened for her on New Year's Eve at the House of Blues but missed her set. This 2025 performance in her hometown of Dallas recorded during Black Music Month, felt like a gift. I reshaped it a bit—trimming the interludes to highlight her explosive musical energy. Funk, soul, jazz & hip-hop all converge in a set that proves, once again, that Badu doesn't just perform—she transmits. Beam her up!These are the moments that make live music sacred. Not just entertainment, but communion. Each set here reflects the throughline in my life—A Common Thread. I'm grateful to share it with you.

Coup de tonnerre à Denver : Michael Malone est limogé à quelques jours des Playoffs, tout comme le GM Calvin Booth, dans un contexte de tensions internes et de désaccords sur la gestion de l'effectif. Une décision choc qui relance les questions autour de l'avenir de Nikola Jokić. À Phoenix, même son de cloche : hors du play-in, les Suns vivent un fiasco total malgré leur trio de stars. Et pendant ce temps, la conférence Ouest vire au chaos à l'approche des deux derniers jours de saison régulière : Lakers, Clippers, Nuggets, Wolves, Warriors et Grizzlies s'arrachent les dernières places pour les Playoffs ou le play-in.Avec Jacques Monclar, Nicolas Sarnak et Baptiste Denis.Jacques Monclar, Rémi Reverchon, Mary Patrux, Xavier Vaution, Fred Weis et Chris Singleton décryptent l'actualité de la NBA dans le Podcast NBA Extra. En complément de l'émission lancée en 2012, beIN SPORTS a créé, avec ce podcast, un nouveau format pour revenir en profondeur sur la ligue nord-américaine de basketball.

This week's episode of then & now is part of a series examining the effects of one of the most powerful and destructive natural disasters in U.S. history: the Los Angeles Wildfires. Co-sponsored by the L.A. History Collaborative— a new consortium of cultural institutions and historians committed to using the tools of history to assist in the reconstruction of the lives and stories of those deeply affected by the L.A. Wildfires—we sit down with E. Randol Schoenberg, an LA-based lawyer and genealogist, to discuss the lives and cultural property lost during this devastating event. As the grandson of Austrian-American composers Arnold Schoenberg and Erich Zeisl, both of whom emigrated to the U.S. to escape the terror of Nazism in Europe and subsequently settled in West L.A, Randy serves as a custodian of his family's historical legacy. Tragically, Randy's family not only lost several homes in the fires but also the entire inventory of sales and rental materials from Belmont Music Publishers, which included manuscripts, original scores, and printed works. The German-Jewish immigrant community has experienced significant cultural loss due to the wildfires, as the Pacific Palisades has historically served as a social hub for German-speaking cultural figures in the mid-twentieth century. In order to memorialize what has been lost, Randy underscores the necessity of recounting and documenting this critical history.E. Randol Schoenberg is an American lawyer and genealogist, based in Los Angeles, California, specializing in legal cases related to the recovery of looted or stolen artworks, particularly those by the Nazi regime during the Holocaust. Schoenberg is widely known as one of the central figures of the 2015 film Woman in Gold, which depicted the case of Maria Altmann against the government of Austria. He is also the subject of the 2023 genealogical documentary Fioretta.Further ReadingBelmont Music PublishersA treasure house of composer Arnold Schoenberg's music destroyed in Palisades fireAfter Nazi Plunder, A Quest To Bring Home The 'Woman In Gold'Villa Aurora

 “Can you grow rhubarb here?”  For those who have moved from colder climates to the warmer USDA zones, that might be a popular question. Memories of rhubarb pie, jams, and more while growing up back East or in the Midwest might have you hankering for fresh rhubarb. The plant, however, dislikes climates where summers get over 90 degrees on a regular basis. And, it prefers a bit of chill in the winter, as well. And the short answer is, “yes, you can grow it here,” with a few reservations (you might have to grow it as an annual), as well as some tips for picking the right varieties and getting the seeds to sprout. Today, it's Rhubarb Growing Basics for Warmer Climates.We're podcasting from Barking Dog Studios here in the beautiful Abutilon Jungle in Suburban Purgatory.

A violent confrontation in West L.A. between Jews attempting to attend an event at a synagogue and Hamas supporters seemingly under the protection of the LAPD comes two days after a Jewish family is beset and beat up during a lower-school end-of-year celebration by another family shouting “Free Palestine”—and a day after Rep.

Le commissariat de la Courneuve est pris d'assaut par une centaine de personnes, après la mort d'un jeune homme, percuté par une voiture de police lors d'une course-poursuite. Selon Ruth Elkrief, ce déchaînement de violence est le symbole de l'État, le symbole de la République et de l'autorité. Elle trouve très grave que certains élus jettent de l'huile sur le feu. Cela l'inquiète, car c'est une menace pour les citoyens. Le Premier ministre, Gabriel Attal, rapporte dans la Tribune : “Une semaine de travail “différenciée” dans l'administration pour les parents divorcés”. François Lenglet pense que c'est une initiative saugrenue, parce qu'elle fait porter aux employeurs la responsabilité d'organiser le temps de travail spécifique des personnes divorcées. Pour lui, le divorce est un choix individuel et ne doit pas être supporté par la collectivité. L'Union européenne signe un accord avec l'Égypte pour que ce dernier contienne les migrants qui veulent gagner l'Europe. On paie le prix de l'impuissance, selon Abnousse Shalmani. Elle trouve cela hallucinant. D'un point de vue humanitaire, elle trouve cela extrêmement gênant vis-à-vis des migrants qui sont envoyés comme monnaies d'échange.

The best Real Estate in the world has historically appreciated through good times and bad. With the right properties, demand has always exceeded supply and values have increased over time. These properties rarely come on the market, however, because sellers know the value of what they own, and don't need or want to sell them. Larry Taylor, Founder and President of Christina Development Corporation, operates in the five cities that make up West L.A, which comprises some of the most expensive Real Estate in the world. Larry pursues unique buying opportunities that result from partnership dissolutions, family disputes, or other event-driven scenarios.

This week's Deadpod came from a request from Tyler, a friend of the pod, who wanted to hear this classic summer stadium show from 1989. This is from Giants Stadium on July 9, 1989. The band is fired up and ready to satisfy what I'm sure was a loud and raucous crowd, opening with the classic 'Shakedown Street' and then an uptempo 'Jack Straw'. Things slow down a bit with 'West L.A. Fadeaway' then take a darker turn with the relatively new 'Victim or the Crime'. 'Brown-Eyed Women' and 'Queen Jane' straighten things back up, and they close this first set with a sweet 'Bird Song'.      Grateful Dead Giants Stadium East Rutherford, NJ 7/9/1989 - Sunday One      Shakedown Street [13:01]   Jack Straw [5:39]   West L.A. Fadeaway [7:31]   Victim Or The Crime [7:12]   Brown Eyed Women [5:24]   Queen Jane Approximately [5:45]   Bird Song [11:17]  You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod071423.mp3 Stay cool! and many thanks for your kind supporrt!! 

We have long been hearing about various threats to bees and other pollinators, including Colony Collapse Disorder, new pathogens and bee pests, environmental and nutritional stressors, and pesticides such as neonicotinoids. Impacts to Queen Bees and their genetics are also a concern. According to the non-profit organization, HoneyLove, cities are apparently the last refuge for the Honeybee. HoneyLove [http://honeylove.org] is dedicated to urban beekeeping, educational outreach, and advocating for the health and well-being of honey bees. This week, we welcome Ceebs Bailey, HoneyLove's Factotum, and Kristy Pace, their Volunteer Director. We owe a debt to bees as they pollinate 80-90% of the world's flowering plants, including more than 130 types of fruits and vegetables. One out of every three or four bites of food you eat was made possible by bees and the honeybee is responsible for $15 billion in U.S. agricultural crops annually. While some are concerned about the health of bees for economic reasons and threats to food production on this continent, the reality is our fate is directly connected to bees and their giveaway to the ecosystem at large, in vitalizing the growth of trees, flowers, and a host of other plants; they are essential to creating and sustaining biodiversity on the planet. The average human on this continent consumes roughly 1.31 lbs of honey per year which translates to a bee visiting 2+ million flowers and flying 55,000+ miles. May we offer up more love, gratitude and respect to the Honeybee and learn how we can contribute to their continuance.

Ceebs Bailey is a writer in West L.A. who started out a few years ago with a modest tumbling composter outside the kitchen door and now has raised beds in the front yard, a flock of chickens and six beehives around the city. Kristy Pace has been cultivating community through theatre, artivism, and volunteerism for over 20 years. She is a teacher and environmental activist associated with SoCal 350, Climate Reality San Fernando Valley, and of course, Honey Love. Carry Kim, Co-Host of EcoJustice Radio. An advocate for ecosystem restoration, indigenous lifeways, and a new humanity born of connection and compassion, she is a long-time volunteer for SoCal350, member of Ecosystem Restoration Camps, and a co-founder of the Soil Sponge Collective, a grassroots community organization dedicated to big and small scale regeneration of Mother Earth.

 As Christmas approaches, Hanukkah continues, and the big snowstorm closes in on many of us, I hope that this week's Deadpod brings you some joy this week!  I bring you the first set of what is a really great show from December 30, 1989 in Oakland California. The opening 'Bertha' flows into a rare first-set 'Good Lovin' which then flows into an excellent version of 'Sugaree'. The entire set is quite well played, and while Airto joins at 'Sugaree' and remains the rest of the show, his contributions are a bit hidden most of the time.  The set-closing 'Music Never Stopped' features some interesting Midi Horns from Garcia, but the entire set is energetic and a pleasure to hear. I hope you enjoy it.    Grateful Dead Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Arena Oakland, CA 12/30/1989 - Saturday One      Bertha [6:22] > Good Lovin' [4:02] > Sugaree [9:30]    Walkin' Blues [6:42]    Jack-A-Roe [4:10]    When I Paint My Masterpiece [5:02] West L.A. Fadeaway [6:58]    The Music Never Stopped [7:32]   You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod122322.mp3   My best wishes for a Happy Hanukkah, and a very Merry Christmas!     

   Here's a fun and happy Sunday show on this week's Deadpod - from the Shoreline Amphitheater on August 18, 1991. This first set features a very fine 'Jack-A-Roe' and some great piano work by Bruce Hornsby on 'CC Rider'. Jerry also brings out the Dylan cover 'It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry' which made its appearance this summer. One of the highlights of the set is Bobby seemingly forgetting the words to 'Beat It On Down the Line'...later in that song, Hornsby creates a 'false stop' and you hear the band talking about it before a short reprise :) A great 'Johnny B. Goode' ends the set..    Grateful Dead Shoreline Amphitheater Mountain View, CA 8/18/1991 - Sunday One      Hell In A Bucket   Jack-A-Roe [5:00]   C C Rider [5:26] > It Takes A Lot To Laugh It Takes A Train To Cry [4:25]   Beat It On Down The Line   West L.A.
