Comedian Shane Mauss drops into the episode of the podcast to bring his one and only fantastasical wit and insights into our minds and maybe even our souls! Shanes perspective on the psychedelic movement, science and mysticism is truly one of a kind. Turn up the volume and see if you can keep up with him! I did but only barely.

His new comedy special TRIPS: First Dose is now live on YouTube on the 800lb Gorilla channel.

Shane Mauss is an award-winning comedian (Conan, Kimmel, Comedy Central, Prime) with a fondness for interviewing scientists about the bizarre and counterintuitive ways the mind works and turning what he learns into solo shows that blend philosophy with comedy.

Originally recognized for his cerebral, absurdist writing and understated delivery, he veered off the traditional path to dive into bigger ideas with themed shows about consciousness, animal mating behavior, mental health, mythology, adaptations, cognitive errors, biology, and AI.

After a 111 city tour about psychedelics in 2017 which led to appearances on the biggest podcasts, his documentary 'Psychonautics', and the Comedy Central webseries 'Tales From The Trip' Shane became known as someone who could speak to wild experiences from a surprisingly grounded perspective.

Shane just released 'The First Dose' of a new two-part psychedelic comedy special, TRIPS.
'The Second Dose' drops April 19th (The anniversary of the discovery of LSD aka 'Bicycle Day')

In the ever shifting landscape of psychedelic culture it's important now, more than ever, to protect and expand on the legacies of those who came before us. This episode does exactly that - Megan and Wendy take us through the important work that The Shulgin Foundation is doing in not just honoring the legacies of Ann and Sasha but in also helping to educate a new generation of psychonauts. Through programs online and in person at the Shulgin Farm in California, Megan and Wendy are forging new heights for what's possible in the future of psychedelic education, harm reduction and chemistry.

Megan Bowers is the Interim Executive Director of The Shulgin Foundation and is a transformational coach, credentialed by the International Coaching Federation in Executive and Organizational Development Coaching.

She owns Transform Press, the publishing company that the Shulgins created, and she manages a chiropractic office. Wendy has spearheaded the effort to preserve the Shulgin farm, the home of Sasha and Ann and the location of the historic lab.
