Join comedian (and philosopher?) Myq Kaplan and I for a long, reflective conversation about his experiences with ayahuasca.

Rather than offering advice or instruction, Myq speaks openly about what these experiences were like for him, how they shifted his relationship with fear, death, love, and belief, and how he now holds uncertainty with more ease.

We talk about psychedelic experiences not as answers, but as moments that can reframe questions.

About surrender, humility, and the difference between insight and integration.

About spirituality without dogma, and meaning without certainty.

Myq also shares how these experiences influenced his comedy, including his album AKA, which is largely shaped by his ayahuasca journeys and is available via his website at myqkaplan.com. His handle on all the socials is @myqkaplan.

His newer special Rini is available on YouTube.

This is not a guide to ayahuasca.

It’s a thoughtful, human conversation about experience, interpretation, and living honestly with not knowing.

Alongside this podcast, I host Calm Hours, a free, secular sanctuary where people can rest together without fixing, sharing, or performance.
