About this Podcast:
Curious what really happens when the mind steps outside ordinary waking life? This podcast explores the science, history, and culture of altered states — from psychedelics and plant medicines to meditation, hypnosis, anesthesia, dreaming, sensory deprivation, and everything in between. We dig into the research without the jargon overload, unpack the stories and traditions that shaped these experiences across cultures and centuries, and talk honestly about what people actually encounter when consciousness shifts. No hype, no lectures — just clear, thoughtful conversations about one of the most fascinating (and least understood) parts of being human.New episodes regularly. Come along for the ride.
