In this podcast, I intend to bring you short literary, philosophical, or whimsical tidbits, with a song (or two), but will generally keep the podasts shorter than 10 minutes.

Out n’ about on London double-decker buses and underground tube to hook up for tea and joints with ethneo-pundit Max Freakout in counter-culture haven Camden Town to chat about markets and psychedelics (salvia divinorum, DMT, psilocybin) and reminiscing about two glorious summers of fungi legality in the UK.
Plus Brighton flashbacks with The Dopefiend discoursing on royals and morals and Max’s accounts of anarchist rallies and heavy handed actions by the coppers and parliamentary war-mongers.
Taking a Remembrance Day respite to enjoy a conscious discussion with ‘Trigger’ at Vancouver’s New Amsterdam Cafe, Dave O listens to the consequences and conditions of space, in tangible and gestalt senses, and reviews the paradigm shifts of Vancouver’s downtown Eastside ‘four corners’ - once one of the grandest intersections in the British Empire. Later, he wanders and reads Walt Whitman [When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd] and Gord Downie [from Coke Machine Glow] to bring it ’round home for this part #7 of the White Poppies for Remembrance series.
After a pleasing smokedown of California medical marijuana, Uncle Weed wanders back to his luxury hotel - passing San Jose’s domed, modernist, fountain-laden City Hall - and rambling about New York City neighbourhoods, smells and pubcrawls plus grouses about stinky hotels, late flights, sleeplessness and democractic candidates while sneaking tokes as cops roll by in quiet Silicon Valley.
Late night hoots on a historic Greenwich Village rooftop with Uncle Weed talking with a Canadian friend about NYC scenes and buildings plus 9/11 recollections, vacuum tubes, ferries, oreo cookies, the last ink factory, Hudson fireworks, hockey lock-out, law school ideas, propane tanks and lawnmowers, 2002 Cannabis Cup (see pics if you are Uncle Weed’s ‘friend’ on Flickr) and minor police incidents plus a few confessions (lousy joint roller and typist) and a self-aggrandizing plug for Zhonka Surfbreaks free wi-fi for the people!
