At this point I have forgotten so many of the details of the DEA case you were reporting. Are you ever planning in posting your conclusion?

Hi Hamilton. I'm Calyx, an alter of Maddie/Kaylor. Kaylor is a big fan!! I've got some information about some pharma, gov, drug and mushroom conspiracies that you would find intetesting. Please add me on instagram, if you're not busy of course, so I can talk to you about it :). I'm theoxbloodchoir. I sent a message about a general thing happening to Kaylor about her witchcraft. I'm so excited to talk to you about these conspiracies!! Please add me. Also, Damien Echols/Drake Valintine are involved and teaching me. Please add me :) hope you are awesome. :)

I listened to the audio-only version of this, it stuck in my mind, and then a week or two later I watched most of The Show About The Show, some episodes of Getting Stoned with Caveh and one of Caveh’s movies (The Sheik and I). One of the results is that I feel cynical now: I think in the background of most people’s minds, with the ideas about morality that we absorb passively as we go through life, there’s the idea that lies are destructive to the fabric of human relationships (and, by extension, human life in general). But now I can’t help but wonder if unchecked truth is actually way more destructive.

100% I'm so glad my whopping $5 a month allows me to be a small part of supporting what Hamilton is doing.

I came to the podcast as a fan of the show, and thought I would only enjoy the content here that was adjacent to pharmacoepia. But I am continually amazed at how intellectually enriching I find every single podcast here no matter who it's with or what it's about. Thank you for another absolute banger, this guy is rad, I'm excited to watch his films.

Definitely a bit heartbreaking. And honest. Heavy and intimate. Thank you Hamilton. I like the way both of your minds work.
