Join us this week as we take a tour of the culture, history, language, and religion of the Peruvian basin with Christian Brown! We spend the first ten or so minutes chatting about the work that brought him to the area: cataloguing the native languages newly forming along the Amazon. While he was there, he was shown firsthand the culture of herbal healing and oral tradition by a gentleman named Adolpho. We discuss the concepts of a Curandero vs a Brujareia, what ayahuasca and similar plants mean in a cultural and religious context, and drink whiskey. Give a listen!
