May 31, 2021 Episode 138: LAMPS and the Psymposia Drama
At the request of LAMPS, I've been sitting on this interview since April 11 when I had a 3-way conversation with Brad Adams (LAMPS founder) and Paul Lisy (videographer). We discuss the original video that Psymposia doctored into a hit-piece, their interest in my methodologies of working with clients, the unsuccessful attempt to make a film about it, what they thought of the whole manufactured outrage created by Psymposia, and why, based on their bad-faith actions, the proposed panel with them was cancelled. This is all coming a bit late in the game, as the desire was to have this come out after the LAMPSS event in LA the other week (which is referenced in the interview as upcoming). It is my hope that this will help put things into a deeper perspective, illuminate Psymposia's inability to separate opinion from reality, and highlight how their "journalism" is anything but.

March 22, 2021 Episode 129: Rob and Martin Model How to Have a Civil Conversation
Coming around full-circle, here's the interview I had with Rob on the Adeptus Psychonautica Podcast soon after Psymposia released their first video of me. We talk about all the issues raised by Psymposia, dive deeper into my methodology, and the reasons and intentions behind it, and how discuss how my clients were informed of my techniques prior to initiating any work. In other words, we have a conversation about it, rather than attacking, smearing, and manufacturing outrage.

March 15, 2021 Episode 128: Psymposia's Violation of Journalistic Ethics
Yes, there's still more to say about Psymposia and Russell Hausfeld! In this episode, I list the many ways that Russell and the team at Psymposia violate standard journalistic ethics with their weaponization of manufactured outrage, their intolerance for dissent or criticism, their stereotyping, and blatant misrepresentation of anyone they deem an enemy. Plus, I provide you, the listener, with more context and depth than Psymposia are capable of processing or reporting. And as a bonus, I let you know how you can report them to the District Attorney's office of Rhode Island, where they are registered as a "charity."

March 01, 2021 Episode 126: Psymposia "Journalism" - Weaponizing Manufactured Outrage
Here’s my first personal response to Psymposia. This episode of The Entheogenic Evolution podcast comes in several distinct sections. First, I state various issues that I’d like to acknowledge. Second, I present a series of questions for Russell Hausfeld about the video he produced, and present one commenter’s reading of both the video and the overall situation. Third, I ask a number of questions that are directed to Psymposia as a whole and individually about their experience, or lack thereof, with 5-MeO-DMT. Next, I ask all members of Psymposia three simple questions. Following that, I invite all listeners to take a journey into direct experience with me.
