October 28, 2015 Taurus Full Moon: The Holistic Principle and How to Care
In tonight's edition of Planet Waves FM, I look at the Taurus Full Moon from an unusual point of view. The Moon was full Tuesday morning in the same degree where Chiron was discovered in 1977. Chiron represents the holistic principle, and I have offered a discussion on what that means and why it matters.

September 26, 2015 The Buck Stops Here: Interview with Jared Rutledge and Jake Owens of Waking Life Coffee in Asheville, NC
In their first interview since they became known for blogging and podcasting their sexual exploits, Jared Rutledge and Jacob Owens of Asheville, North Carolina — owners of Waking Life Espresso — tell the story of what they did, why they did it, and reveal the truth about the "Manosphere," the "Red Pill" subculture and PUA (pickup artist) culture. They began by looking for information about polyamory (conscious, responsible nonmonogamy), but Google searches led them to the New York Times bestselling book The Game by Neil Strauss. Suddenly finding success using these dating and seduction techniques, they began tweeting, podcasting and blogging their experiences. Listen to their story in this Planet Waves FM exclusive interview.
