Yeah — with those criticisms in mind, I think you’ll be happily surprised by the podcast! I had the same issues w the show, bc I felt the pod handled it way better.

I think the show runners worried they wouldn’t get a 2nd season so they packed way too much in/left a bunch of stuff out.

How We Roll does a lot of fun Call of Cthulhu real-plays if you’re into that

Way better. Tv show was good but way more streamlined

Interesting piece. If you want some extra specifics on how this strategy was developed in the psychedelic space, I did a deep dive on it a few years ago:

He has also made claims on the Diary of a CEO podcast that psychedelics could be a solution for humans losing access to nature, with no critique of the forces actually causing the destruction of nature — more like a resignation to it.

Adding to my list for camping reading this weekend 🏕️

tl:dr - while the psychedelics industry portrays itself as a grassroots movement motivated by doing woo & good, it is funded by corporate & silicon valley money that has attacked critics/scientists, while also manipulating public opinion through astroturfed movements and social media influencers.

Good article on that from some years ago www.psymposia.com/magazine/bad...
