The Next Big Idea

Michael Pollan on Food, Psychedelics and His Next Book


Listen Later

Last week, we hosted a members-only Q&A with Michael Pollan. We covered food and diet, his writing process, psychedelics, and dreams. We also got into the microbiome, which happens to be the subject of Michael's new book (and a topic he thinks will fundamentally change how we understand health). The conversation was so good that we thought, Why keep this to ourselves?

The episodes we mentioned about the origins of life with Sara Imari Walker? You can listen to them here and here.

And if you can’t get enough of Michael — and who can? — here’s our last interview with him.
