Diet Soap Podcast #12: The Psychedelic Jetpack

This week's episode features the final piece of my conversation with Neil Kramer of the blog the Cleaver. Neil discusses the metaphor of the Psychedelic Jetpack, Salvia Divinorum, the Psychedelic Salon, and the book DMT: The Spirit Molecule. The podcast also features brief excerpts from Joseph Nechvatal's Viral Symph0ny, Lorenzo's Psychedelic Salon, Lazenbee Industries Delusion Report, and Terence McKenna on the Archaic Revival. In the end Miriam gives us our weekly Titanic factoid. A partial transcript of the interview with Neil is available at examiner.com.

Doug Lain is the editor of Diet Soap, and the author of the collection "Last Week's Apocalypse," and the novel "Billy Moon:1968" due out in 2010 from Tor Books. He recognizes that he is a member of the entertained public — a public that Guy Debord described in his 1978 film In Girum Imus Nocte et Consumimur Igni as “dying in droves on the freeways, and in each flu epidemic and each heat wave, and with each mistake of those who adulterate their food, and each technical innovation profitable to the numerous entrepreneurs for whose environmental developments they serve as guinea pigs.” Last week Lain drank six Starbuck’s coffees and daydreamed about revolution 12.5 times. Douglas Lain lives in Portland, Oregon with his wife and four children. douglain@dietsoap.org M. K. Hobson (born January 21, 1969) is a speculative fiction and fantasy writer.
