Fane of the Cosmos

On todays show we hear from such luminaries as Aldous Huxley, Wade Davis, Ken Wilber and continue with our coverage of the amazing and harrowing movie The Exile Nation Project which analyzes the dark side of the incarceration of people in the United States for drug offenses. We end the show off with a talk from the MAPS Catalyst conference covering the use of Iboga for opiate addiction . What I love about this talk is the genuine heartfelt belief in this plant medicine and the benefit people are receiving from its powers. Music: Dilated Peoples, Rage…

We start off the show with comments from Noam Chomsky on the War on Drugs and then a very humorous insight on the drug war from OSHO. On todays show we interview Jeremy Narby, an anthropologist and writer. Narby grew up in Canada and Switzerland, studied history at the University of Canterbury, and received a doctorate in anthropology from Stanford University. Narby spent several years living with the Ashaninca in the Peruvian Amazon cataloging indigenous uses of rainforest resources to help combat ecological destruction. Narby has written three books, as well as sponsored an expedition to the rainforest for biologists…

This week I had the distinct honour of interviewing Lorenzo Hagerty the “Podfather” of the Psychedelic Salon. The Salon is probably the most important collection of Entheogenic Speakers we have in North America. We finally get to see the man behind this unique collection. I found him to be one of the most engaging yet truly humble people I have ever interviewed. We had such a great chat! We then got real serious and listened to Eugene Oscapella and his testimony before the Senate Committee Hearings on Bill C-15. We hear a comedian who stole 14 balance beam scales from…

Run with Dr. Ring Ding and Fever into a crazy night on LSD I had at an MMW show and the creation of a new super drug called SCOOBYPROFEN, which combines an Ibuprofen with a Scooby snack. A nice Def Jam cut from thea into a report that some homeowners are being forced to do drug testing to get mortgages. Unbelievable. Halfwits from SCTV…the greatest comedy show for its time. An interesting article from Derrick Jensen on why personal change does not always equal political change. Will not be loved by all listeners. Flight of the Concords and HipHopotamus vs.…

I speak about my experience at Starbelly, a great family oriented festival that takes place in Crawford Bay every year. Kicking it to Phish and Farmhouse. I start off the show with a great Celtic Tale from the bard Robin Williamson. I relate a story from the Valley Voice, a local newspaper, about the harrowing tale of a young girl in spandex shorts and the sexual assault she experienced at the hands of local police…looking for a concealed weapon. It was summer...she had a tank top on and shorts. I go off about the way officers abuse their powers for…

We hit it with Freestylers and Weekend Song into Bill C-15 commentary. Then a quick note on not giving a uck. We play a clip from CNN interviewing Ryan Grimm, the author of “This is your country on drugs”..truly a great summation of the drug debacle. Rob Sonic and Rock the Convoy. I then talk about the tobacco act being amended to make the sale of Blunts much harder and how it is affecting head shop owners. A tune Hazit. A clip of a new drug called incarcerex…funny…or not! We then go to a nice extended cut from the movie…

Stretching with Saul Williams and the beat goes on into a death dell regarding the passing of Bill C-15 in the Canadian house of Commons…with support of the spineless Liberals. We hear a clip from the HIV/AIDS network in Canada and their testimony before committee on Bill C-15. We hear Jim McCoy and I am a radio show announcer not a catholic priest spoken word with Daniel Beatty and “Knock Knock”. Victoria Spivey and the dopehead blues. We talk about the fact that we now have the general investigative unit and waaaayyy too many cops. George Carlin and we have…

We kick it off with a double shot of Dr. Ring Ding and Sinead O’Connor. A triple shot you may ask…well in the studio I was shitting my pants because my computer wouldn’t work, that’s why. C-15 is like a dark shadow moving slowly at night. We hear from Wade Davis being interviewed by Sara Zacks. John Howard Societies comments in committee on bill C-15. Happy birthday to all Gemini’s with a Dr. Seuss birthday song. Then I play lots of Obamas speech in Cairo. Stunned by his comments, unbelievable really…yet always that thread of doubt. Chris Rock talks about…
