On this episode, we get a special tour of The Pan American Unity Mural with docent Vickie Simms.

Vickie has given up her lifelong (30+ years) business career to go back to school and study Art History. We'll hear about what motivated her to trade money for art, and glean lessons from our shared American past, as Vickie tours us through this legendary painting.

This is episode one of a three-part series about a mysterious truck I spent a month chasing down last summer. This is not educational podcasting, this is pure storytelling fun. So, enjoy! 

Living in San Francisco, I see weird, unexplainable people and objects on a regular basis. This is the story of what happens when I chase down one of those mysterious objects, and try to make sense of the inexplicable. 

Part two of a three-part series about "The Light Show." If you don't know what that is, go back and listen to episode one, "The Search."

In this episode, Rich and I talk, drive, and get real. Hold onto your coca cola and cigarettes, it's going to be a wEeiRd and BuMPy ride. 

Part three of a three-part series about "The Light Show." Go check out the two episodes before this if you have not already. 

In this episode, I sit down with MY MOM, and get super Freudian! She enjoyed this story so much when I told it to her last summer, I decided to sit down with her again to discuss all the events that have happened since then, and my ride-along with Rich. Feelings are hurt, it may even get ugly, and surely the plot will thicken!

Inspired by certain events that occurred on April 20th on Hippie Hill in Golden Gate Park, I venture out into the cannabis world to investigate the new health fade "CBD." What is it, what can it really do, and how do we know we're getting "the good stuff?" 

Teaser for a new season of The 38 starting 12/9. 

I don't know if you heard--Marijuana just got legalized in California--it's a pretty big deal, and it's cause for celebration for the legions of stoners who live in the state. Or is it?

One of the biggest celebrations of this magical plant takes place every year on 4/20 just down the road from my house, at Hippie Hill in Golden Gate Park. 

On this episode I spend the day at Hippie Hill, interviewing stoners, and investigating how the festival has changed since it started being regulated by the city last year. This microcosm of the cannabis community offers insights as to how legalization will effect the larger cannabis culture. 

What's it like being a budding musician in this post-record-label age? Nick gives us an artist's definition of the word "success." Links to Comfort's Soundcloud page, and Facebook. 

Number 2 in my 3 part pure-interview series. Featuring Robin, who I interviewed at a small music festival in the CA foothills for my episode "Psychedelic Integration." 

Robin tells stories of being raised by her brother, milking her goat, doing MDA with her friends' mom, and beating diabetes. OK?

This will be the first of three episodes in a purely interview series: Deleted Scenes.

Over the next three weeks I'll be airing some of my favorite interviews--interviews which never made the final cut for an episode--in their near entirety.

This week we'll hear from Patrick and Mary, who I interviewed for my previous episode entitled "The First Move."
