Media Roots Radio on Psychedelics: 

Episode 1: A Brief History of Hallucinogens, MK-Ultra, the CIA, LSD, Leary & the Psychedelic Sixties / Seventies 

Robbie and Abby Martin start the series by exploring the Western world's initiation into psychedelics: the CIA buying up the world's supply of LSD to administer MK-Ultra's dark experimentation against unwitting subjects as well as thousands of volunteers through research organizations and front groups at elite universities which spawned Silicon Valley. They discuss the evolution of main characters like Timothy Leary and how the San Francisco Bay Area became a hotbed of psychedelic renaissance through the hippie movement, from the Grateful Dead to Ken Kesey. Figures like John Lilly were attempting to sync consciousness with dolphins using hallucinogenic drugs and performance art by the likes of Alex Grey and others became representative of the era. Nixon's 'War on Drugs' started the reactionary wave of psychedelic criminalization.

Media Roots Radio on Psychedelics:

Episode 3: Terrence McKenna, Ott, DMT, Pharmahuasca, Heroic Dosing, Utopianism & the Entheogen New Age

Abby and Robbie dive into the psychonauts that repopularized psychedelics in the 80s and 90s, focusing on the brilliant visionary riddler Terrence McKenna and his wild theories––from Stoned Ape to TimeWave Zero––his promotion of heroic dosing, his mainstreaming of DMT and the notion of DMT 'machine elves.' They explore the complicated nature of McKenna's legacy, including the pitfalls of the utopianism that he and others elevated about heroic dosing. They also cover the lesser known Johnathan Ott, a chemist who coined the term entheogen and pushed for the production of a Pharmahuasca, a pharmaceutical pill version of Ayahuasca.

Robbie Martin is joined by Max aka Compostghoul, a researcher and Media Roots collaborator who has been working with Robbie to turn previous Media Roots anthrax investigative podcasts into long form written pieces.  They start by giving their opinions about what was good and bad about the new Netflix documentary: Anthrax, In the Shadow of 9/11. Halfway through the podcast Robbie and Max emphasize how the recently unearthed abandoned St Petersburg hoax letters thread alone undermines the entire FBI case about Bruce Ivins, possibly the strongest evidence point at the current moment that proves that the anthrax attacks must have been the work of at least 2 individuals, but probably more. In the last third Robbie throws out darker possibilities for suspects, including the liklihood that whoever conducted the 2001 anthrax attacks had foreknowledge of the 9/11 attacks and was planning the anthrax attack before 9/11 actually occured. 

Robbie mentions several crucial previous Media Roots works on the 2001 anthrax attacks throughout the podcast, please see all the links below:
