Friends In High Places: Recent Episodes
Ben Brooker
A deep dive into the world of psychedelics, both above- and below-ground, hosted by writer Ben Brooker. Along the way we’ll meet all kinds of scientists and psychonauts, truth-seekers and trippers. All of them are friends in high places.
Recorded at the height of this year’s mushroom season, Ben and Caine’s discussion touches on topics ranging from fungi identification, conservation and cultivation, to ethnobotany, Australia’s endemic psilocybe species, and the mysterious Amanita muscaria.
Ben Brooker talks to Antanika Hoberg, Vice-President of Australian Psychedelic Society, about her journey with psychedelics from trauma and addiction, personal growth and family.
Content warning: This episode contains references to mental illness, trauma and suicide.
