Description: A land locked sea shanty inspired by an unsettled heart set adrift by unfortunate circumstance

In this compelling episode, Rachel introduces Dr. John Hunter, a South African researcher and lecturer, to explore the psychological and neurobiological impacts of Large Group Awareness Trainings (LGATs). Dr. Hunter offers a unique perspective on how LGATs can trigger manic-like episodes and psychosis. 



Rachel and Dr. Hunter discuss the psychological and social dynamics within LGATs, including the use of authority, social proof, and peripheral route persuasion to influence participants. They explore the intense stress and emotional highs and lows engineered by these trainings, drawing parallels to abusive interpersonal relationships and the addictive nature of the dopamine-driven states they induce.

Manufacturing Mania w/Dr. John Hunter

A land locked sea shanty inspired by an unsettled heart set adrift by unfortunate circumstance

Anchor (Demo)

Troubadour balladeer of folk, jazz, Celtic and traditional standards, Willow Rutherford has deep roots in the Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver indie music scenes.  She is the former band leader and lead songwriter for the infamous Montreal supergroup, The Subcollisions.  Her style of accordion-folk cabaret is unparalleled.  Willow’s songs have been referred to as “land-locked sea-shanties” with lyrics about hysterical love, historical fantasy, and a sublime mix of playful yet poignant narratives that are both earnest and ironic.

Willow comes by music honestly.  She is the offspring of the late, great pianist Mark Rutherford and the sister of Toronto songstress Calamity Royale.  A chance encounter with a gifted accordion inspired an entirely new range of musicianship and Willow has never looked back.  She has composed soundtracks for documentaries and animated shorts, and has accompanied rising stars The Fugitives, E.S.L., Annabelle Chvostek, and David Simard.  Willow sings in English, French and Spanish and is a master of improvisation, both musically and lyrically.
