DO RAVES ACTUALLY HEAL US... OR ARE WE JUST ESCAPING?? | I'M PEAKING EP. 86

About this episode

The episode discusses the impact of rave culture, exploring whether it serves as a healing experience or merely an escape.

In episode 86 of the I'M PEAKING podcast, we get into some real talk about rave culture. From the impact phones have on festival experiences to the bigger question of whether raving is healing or just an escape. We also unpack the ATLiens vs. OutKast legal drama, share our thoughts on the EDC lineup debates, and Nand recaps his experience out at EDC Thailand. Plus, the podcast is gearing up for a STUDIO MOVE, so if you’ve got any leads on a new space, we’re all ears. Be sure to tune into this one and hope you enjoy! 💜
