Perhaps there has been many threads on the topic before. But I'd to hear if you have any interesting and good persons/podcasts/channels to recommend?

To start off.
I have not seen much about Erik Davis on this forum. Wonder why? I think he's great!

He's been around in the academia/psychedelic/spirituality/technology/religion/music/gnosis .. thing since the 90's. Written books, like Techgnosis and the latest (and the only one I've read) High Weirdness (highly recommend that one if you're into the weird 70's/sci-fi/psychedelics/litterature .. and Philip K. Dick, Terence McKenna, and Robert Anton Wilson).

I just listened to a great podcast with him! Life is a Festival #92 Erik Davis. That is a conversation around psychedelics in our times that I really find interesting and enlightening. Hope to get into more of those exchanges myself. Perhaps here on the nexus.

I like his newsletter too Burning Shore

If this is in the wrong subforum, please help me to get it right. I'm new here

This is one of the most informative podcast interviews that I've ever heard regarding the topic of San Pedro Cactus. The late "Don" Howard Lawler.

Great, I'll check it out!
No San Pedro (or any cactus of that kind) has come my way.. yet.

I've been enjoying Sean Carroll and Lex Fridman. Sean Carroll avoids psychedelic topics, even when talking about concioussness - it is an interesting point of view.

And of course the classic psychedelic salon has to be mentioned ❤️

I recently found an interview with Terence McKenna that I had never heard before, really interesting stuff. It's split into a few videos but here's a playlist: https://www.youtube.com/...ZvNTkUayzEiUNAwc6rANLpB.

This conversation with Erik Davis is really good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-txshLbiVI

Not really psychedelic-oriented, but more scientific (and more specifically focused on all kinds of physics):
Why This Universe
Daniel and Jorge Explain The Universe

I kinda stopped listening to most of the psychedelic oriented podcasts that were in my feed out of exasperation and frustration with the endless promotion, profit oriented conversations, lack of critical thinking and the apologetic nature that i had started to perceive.

But Psymposia’s +3 take a critical view of the movement that i can appreciate even if i still do not agree with some statements made by guests. It’s worth a listen.

Great! Hadn't heard that one! I really enjoy Erics take on things. Even if I also think that he's one of those 'guys' that just can't stop talking.

Mentioning Psymposia. I liked them first and found their critical (leftish) take on the whole scene both fresh and important. But now after some time I'm not so amused anymore. They seem to have a attitude problem (in my limited view) and seems a bit to angry and personal to be interested in real dialogue and change. But that perhaps just me getting old and soft

I listened to the Power Trip episodes and really jibed with them, but I did listen last night to part of the recent +3 cast that had me screaming at my computer, so I understand your point. I just find it refreshingly absent of apologia.

I predominantly listen to stand up comedy podcasts.

The only serious podcasts I listen to are the Huberman Lab Podcast and Cal Newports podcast. Both are brimming with ultra high quality information.
