The Telepathy Tapes

For centuries, the people of Gabon protected iboga as a sacred medicine. Then a gift intended to help others changed everything.In this episode, we trace Iboga's remarkable journey from colonial France to New York City, where a young man named Howard Lotsof discovered its potential to interrupt addiction and dedicated his life to bringing ibogaine into modern medicine. But as scientific interest grew, so did difficult questions about patents, ownership, and who should benefit from knowledge that had been safeguarded by Indigenous communities for generations.Featuring conservationist Yann Guignon, filmmaker Lucy Walker, and Indigenous scholar Dr. Christine Dindisi, this episode explores the history that shaped today's iboga renaissance, and asks whether scientific progress and Indigenous stewardship can move forward together._______A note to listeners: This series is intended to inform, not encourage the use of ibogaine. Ibogaine is a powerful psychoactive substance with serious medical risks and should never be used without thorough medical evaluation and appropriate supervision. As you'll hear throughout this series, increasing global demand has also had profound consequences for the Indigenous communities in Gabon who have safeguarded Iboga and its traditions for generations.

People around the world describe remarkably similar experiences with ibogaine: encounters with ancestors, shared dreams, telepathic abilities, and moments that seem to transcend ordinary consciousness.Are these a coincidence, a hallucination, or something science has yet to explain?In this episode, psychologists, neuroscientists, chemists, physicians, and former patients explore why ibogaine appears unlike any other psychedelic they've studied. From blindfolded perception and shared visions to groundbreaking brain research and the search for safer treatments, we examine the growing evidence and the enduring mystery surrounding one of the world's most extraordinary medicines.A note to listeners: This series is intended to inform, not encourage the use of ibogaine.

Is time really linear or is consciousness capable of accessing information beyond the present moment?In this episode of The Talk Tracks, Ky Dickens explores the growing scientific and experiential evidence surrounding precognition, remote viewing, and altered states of consciousness.After hearing remarkable accounts from non-speakers who claim to “remote view through time,” Ky speaks with neuroscientist Julia Mossbridge and psychologist Mike Sapiro about presentiment research, psi phenomena, trauma, meditation, psychedelics, and therapeutic approaches that use imagined time travel to heal the nervous system.Join The Telepathy Tapes Backstage Pass to get ad-free episodes, never-before-heard interviews, behind-the-scenes documentary footage, and access to our private Discord community.
