SHOW NOTES:

*This show originally aired 12/24/2020 on various platforms.

Scholar and psychonaut Robert Forte joins Dani & Emily for their first episode on the various characters of the psychedelic movement(s), many of whom also seem to have been involved in MK ULTRA , intelligence agency shenanigans and other eye brow raising activities. Today we talk about Gordon Wasson who is largely credited with introducing magic mushrooms to American pop culture. He was also a mentor (or maybe handler) to Robert Forte. Enjoy!
