RADIO FREE EARTH - 27 Dr Del Potter psychedelic chemist part 2 of 2 Dr. Del Potter psychedelic wizard and chemist visits the studio and talks novel psychedelics, custom mini-brains, psychedelic outlaw history, and freedom of consciousness.

I had a technical foulup, and so sound is a bit rough, though not terrible on this recording. The content is well worth the listen. Thank you

Dr. Del Potter is a medical anthropologist, an outlaw from the old school who is currently researching new therapeutic compounds from cannabinoids and psychedelics.
Dr. Potter earned his PhD in medical anthropology in 1980 through a joint program of UC Berkeley and UCSF Medical School. His doctoral research specialized in psychiatric anthropology, neuropharmacology and ethnopsychopharmacology. He completed his psychotherapy clinical training at San Francisco Psychoanalytic Institute.
Dr. Potter’s postdoctoral ethnographic research in Brazil, Colombia, and Ecuador initially investigated “the cross-cultural personality development and psychohistory of the shamanic practitioner,” but later evolved to focus more on the composition and effects of shamanic plant medicine. He stated an intention to “improve cultural understanding of these compounds” and integrate that knowledge with pharmaceutical science.
In addition to the above Dr Potter has led a storied life, growing up in the Bay Area during the 60s and having been immersed in the legendary underground outlaw culture while maintaining a presence in academic and business circles.

Radio Free Earth 24 Louis Prowe, Author

RADIO FREE EARTH 23 - LOUIS PROWE Author of Vague Apocalyptica

Born in Andover, Massachusetts—Louis received his BA in literature and political philosophy and graduated cum laude from Northeastern University in Boston. He continued his education at the University of London-Goldsmiths, and studied Ethics, Mind, and Consciousness at the University of Edinburgh. After two decade as an intelligence contractor and corporate strategist, he relocated to rural Vermont on a 12 acre private farm with his partner Kate. 

His breakout collection of essays, Vague Apocalyptica, Capitalism, Humanism, and Democracy earned him critical acclaim and the nickname of the “the Jackson Pollack of contextual analysis.: His book was also called the “One book every American should read ASAP”,  by the Huffington Post.  Louis' writing and life-work comprise a continual contemplation on meaning and purpose. He locates humanity at a critical nexus of politicised life and spiritual life where we acutely experience “distance and otherness.” In a recent interview he said, “The tension between the agrarian, earth-bound impulse and the technocratic and corporatist mentality is now fully manifest in individuals themselves. We have internalized the greatest challenge to our humanity —and each one of us must figure out where they stand on the line.  There are those who intuit our responsibility to the biosphere and those whose minds are warped by the lure of efficiency, greed and ignorance. As such, an entitled minority brazenly disregard our most intimate ethos, that of protecting one another and our resources, and instead acquire, accumulate and hoard."

Radio Free Earth 20 ! Tzandar (Anthony) West tattoo and multimedia artist extraordinaire

RADIO FREE EARTH 20 - Tzandar (Anthony) West tattoo and multimedia artist extraordinaire. This episode my friend Tzandar returns under a newly discovered name. He and I discuss my cannabis review and education show, ‘What’s Good?’, and a bit of the reasons for me starting this podcast. We reason on a variety of other subjects as well. Please forgive the audio on this episode. It was recorded a bit hot. The contents made it worthy of sharing regardless. Thank you

From Tzandar West in lieu of bio:

I have been meditating from a very young age – exploring my inner and outer realms.

I am a creator and my work mirrors the journey of self.

I believe deeply in the value of myth in building and maintaining culture.

My personal interest lies in studying hypnosis, soul retrieval techniques and ancestral healing.

I have spent years holding space for others and guiding them on their healing journeys in a diversity of settings. I have guided many mens circles over the years, holding space for men to awaken and integrate their creative purpose and drive. I also hold a safe, strong space for women to heal and be witnessed by the masculine.

I seek to inspire spiritual awareness within my clients allowing you to access your own ability as a co-creator and being of unlimited potential.

I use our collective mythos to inspire change and create a new paradigm.

Healing and creativity are my life’s work, purpose, and passion. I am honored to share this work with you.
