Andrew Doyle is Titania McGrath, a comedian and a writer.

Free speech is one of the core tenants of a modern liberal society, and yet we are seeing restrictions being placed on it across the West. In the UK Hate Speech Laws have been introduced and even America is looking at amending the amendment.

Expect to learn what Andrew thinks about Donald Trump being removed from Twitter, whether cancel culture exists, why Miley Cyrus' genital preference is dangerous, what future humans will think when they look back on this period of history and much more...

Breathing is one of the few ways we can directly interact with how our physiology is operating, and yet no one ever taught us how to do it.

Dylan Werner is one of the world's best known yoga teachers and today he gives us a breakdown of not only how the breath can impact our mood and performance but also explains the biology of how our breathing works, how you can implement breathwork into your daily routine, plus he guides us through an entire breathwork sequence at the end of the episode.

Creating The Future Of Psychedelics - Hamilton Morris - #284

February 18, 2021

•

82m

Hamilton Morris is a journalist, documentary producer and a chemist.

Hamilton's Pharmacopeia is one of the most interesting documentaries around chemistry, psychoactive drugs, psychedelic culture and traditional uses for plant medicine ever.

Sadly Season 3 is the last one, but Hamilton joins me today to talk about his interest in consciousness, why chemistry hasn't captured culture like other sciences, why Mkat failed because of a branding issue, why we should be synthesising DMT ourselves instead of squeezing Bufo Alvarius the psychedelic toad of the Sonoran Desert and much more...
