S2E42: Ibogaine Inquiries Part IV: Who Owns a Sacred Medicine?
For centuries, the people of Gabon protected iboga as a sacred medicine. Then a gift intended to help others changed everything.In this episode, we trace Iboga's remarkable journey from colonial France to New York City, where a young man named Howard Lotsof discovered its potential to interrupt addiction and dedicated his life to bringing ibogaine into modern medicine. But as scientific interest grew, so did difficult questions about patents, ownership, and who should benefit from knowledge that had been safeguarded by Indigenous communities for generations.Featuring conservationist Yann Guignon, filmmaker Lucy Walker, and Indigenous scholar Dr. Christine Dindisi, this episode explores the history that shaped today's iboga renaissance, and asks whether scientific progress and Indigenous stewardship can move forward together._______A note to listeners: This series is intended to inform, not encourage the use of ibogaine. Ibogaine is a powerful psychoactive substance with serious medical risks and should never be used without thorough medical evaluation and appropriate supervision. As you'll hear throughout this series, increasing global demand has also had profound consequences for the Indigenous communities in Gabon who have safeguarded Iboga and its traditions for generations. We encourage you to listen to the full series before drawing conclusions or seeking out treatment._______To support the indigenous peoples of Gabon, Africa and help protect the sacred Iboga plant, please visit https://blessingsoftheforest.org/ where you can learn about those who use this medicine ceremoniously, have for thousands of years, and whose access is in grave danger._______Join The Telepathy Tapes Backstage Pass to get ad-free episodes, never-before-heard interviews, behind-the-scenes documentary footage, and access to our private Discord community.This is your invitation to come closer.

S2E41: Ibogaine Inquiries Part III: The Sacred Roots of Iboga
Long before ibogaine entered Western clinics and laboratories, the plant it comes from held a sacred place in Gabonese life. In Part III of Ibogaine Inquiries, we travel to Gabon to explore Bwiti, the spiritual tradition in which iboga is understood as a teacher, guide, and living presence.Gabonese practitioners and Bwiti initiates describe the preparation, community, music, mentorship, and lifelong practice that surround the medicine. They explain why Iboga cannot be separated from the larger body of knowledge developed around it. As Western interest continues to grow, this episode asks what may be lost when a sacred plant and its active compound are removed from the people, traditions, and relationships that have safeguarded them for generations.A note to listeners: This series is intended to inform, not encourage the use of ibogaine. Ibogaine is a powerful psychoactive substance with serious medical risks and should never be used without thorough medical evaluation and appropriate supervision. As you'll hear throughout this series, increasing global demand has also had profound consequences for the Indigenous communities in Gabon who have safeguarded Iboga and its traditions for generations.

S2E40: Ibogaine Inquiries Part II: The Intelligence of the Medicine
People around the world describe remarkably similar experiences with ibogaine: encounters with ancestors, shared dreams, telepathic abilities, and moments that seem to transcend ordinary consciousness.Are these a coincidence, a hallucination, or something science has yet to explain?In this episode, psychologists, neuroscientists, chemists, physicians, and former patients explore why ibogaine appears unlike any other psychedelic they've studied. From blindfolded perception and shared visions to groundbreaking brain research and the search for safer treatments, we examine the growing evidence and the enduring mystery surrounding one of the world's most extraordinary medicines.A note to listeners: This series is intended to inform, not encourage the use of ibogaine.

S2E39: Ibogaine Inquiries Part I: Remember the Name
Why is everyone suddenly talking about ibogaine?After President Trump signed an executive order fast-tracking psychedelic research, a little-known plant medicine from Central Africa found itself at the center of a national conversation. Advocates call it a breakthrough for addiction, PTSD, and traumatic brain injury. Critics urge caution. But how did we get here?In the first episode of The Ibogaine Inquiries, Ky Dickens and Katherine Ellis trace ibogaine's unlikely path from sacred ceremonies in Gabon to veterans seeking healing in Mexico, and ultimately to the halls of American politics. Along the way, former Texas Governor Rick Perry, Admiral Jim Hancock, and physician Dr. Martín Polanco share the personal experiences that transformed them from skeptics into advocates.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

S2E38: From Skeptic to Advocate: Becca Cramer Returns | Talk Tracks
In this episode of The Talk Tracks, Becca Cramer, a nuclear engineer, writer, and skeptic turned believer, returns to the studio to share what she has learned since her first investigation into The Telepathy Tapes. What began as an attempt to debunk the claims surrounding spelling and telepathy has since evolved into a commitment to advocating for nonspeakers and challenging the assumptions that continue to limit their access to communication.After meeting spellers, families, and communication partners, and engaging directly with researchers on both sides of the debate, Becca has gained a deeper understanding of apraxia, motor planning, authorship, and the difference between support and control.Becca and Ky explore why the validity of spelling must be considered separately from the question of telepathy, and why the possibility of influence does not mean a nonspeaker’s words are not their own. Together, they examine the emerging research, the institutional resistance that remains, and what must change for nonspeakers’ communication, autonomy, and lived experiences to be taken seriously._______Join The Telepathy Tapes Backstage Pass to get ad-free episodes, never-before-heard interviews, behind-the-scenes documentary footage, and access to our private Discord community.This is your invitation to come closer.

S2E37: Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor: What a Stroke Revealed About Consciousness | Talk Tracks
What happens when three-fourths of a neuroscientist’s brain goes offline, and what remains is not emptiness, but peace, connection, and love?Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor is a Harvard-trained neuroanatomist who spent her life studying the brain, until a massive stroke made her the subject of her own life’s work. As the parts of her brain tied to language, identity, linear time, and the sense of being separate began to shut down, she entered an expansive state that would shape the next chapter of her work.After eight years of rebuilding her brain, Dr. Bolte Taylor emerged with a new framework for understanding the brain and the self: four inner “characters” that influence how we think, feel, react, relate, and move through the world. In this episode of the Talk Tracks, Ky Dickens speaks with Dr. Bolte Taylor about what her stroke revealed, how Whole Brain Living can help us engage all four parts of ourselves, and how we can learn to choose who and how we want to be.Together, they also explore emotional reactivity, inner peace, intuition, telepathy, energy healing, and the possibility that some forms of awareness may reflect capacities of the brain and consciousness that science is still learning how to understand._______Join The Telepathy Tapes Backstage Pass to get ad-free episodes, never-before-heard interviews, behind-the-scenes documentary footage, and access to our private Discord community.This is your invitation to come closer.

She describes late-night visits from spirits asking for healing and a profound family moment that changed their relationships forever.The conversation also explores the tension between science and spirituality, the surprising openness they’ve found within hospice care, and the emotional reality of raising a child who speaks candidly about mortality while offering wisdom far beyond her years.Finally, the family shares the recent discovery of Soraya's ultra-rare diagnosis of TAOK1 gene deletion and their hope that future research could not only change Soraya's life, but the lives of countless families affected by rare diseases.For more information and to donate towards research targeting Soraya's illness, click here: https://together.uw.edu/campaign/taok1________________Join The Telepathy Tapes Backstage Pass to get ad-free episodes, never-before-heard interviews, behind-the-scenes documentary footage, and access to our private Discord community.
