Microbiologist, teacher and ritualist, Dr Siobhan Watkins joins the show this week.
We have a really great chat about the how and why of coming into right relation with the microbial world, what all forms of biology look like from an animist perspective and the ancestral implications of being a composite being.

Glastonbury's best bard and psychogeographer, Paul Weston, returns to the show to update us on his synchromystic adventures.
This episode is a bit of a special one as it serves as the isolation-era launch of his latest book, 'History and Myth: Boris Johnson, Henry VIIIth, Extinction Rebellion, Plague and The Return of the Middle Ages'. And even more special than that, the book owes its existence in many respects to his last appearance on the podcast and the feedback it generated among the listenership.
So if people ask you what you did with your lockdown you can tell them you actually did co-author a book. Albeit accidentally.
Enjoy!

Legendary ethnobotanist, Mark J. Plotkin, joins the show this week for a fascinating chat about traditional medicine, Indigenous knowledge, plant healing and modern medicine.
Dr Plotkin studied under the great Richard Evans Schultes himself and has been exploring the Amazon as a friend and researcher for five decades. He is the co-founder of the Amazon Conservation Team -a nonprofit that partners with Indigenous communities to conserve biodiversity, protect traditional lifeways and support sustainable Amazonian livelihoods.
During the lockdown era, Mark started an excellent and highly recommended podcast, Plants of the Gods. We discuss
- The origination of the podcast project
- The role of psychedelics in contemporary medicine
- The safeguarding of Indigenous intellectual property in the 'modern' world
- 'Active molecules' versus whole plants in contemporary medicine
- The changes -good and bad- in the field of ethnobotany over the course of his career
A fantastic discussion with a personal hero. Dive in. And if this is the first time you've heard about Plants of the Gods, well, I'm pleased to be able to share it with you!

Continuing our whistle-stop tour of classic blog series, this time we revisit a term I lifted from the (pre-cancelled) Joss Whedon film, Serenity.
It’s the term I use to better frame the totality of digital systems and social media in the context of how they see the world and what it is they seek to do to ours. For people who may be unaware, I had a career in digital media and publisher strategy before doing whatever it is you call what I’m doing now. And I’ve long been interested in that overlap between communication and magic.
These posts weave all of that together. And it’s necessary to continue the revisitations with this series next, because it gives us the context for why probably the rest of the revisitations won’t be found on YouTube.
Here are some of those old posts:
