Prop Anon speaks with David Jay Brown, the American author and psychedelic philosopher, about his two newest books Psychedelics and the Coming Singularity and The Illustrated Field Guide of DMT Entities. David Jay Brown has spent a career analyzing the development of consciousness through his many books with titles like Brainchild, Mavericks of the Mind, Voices from the Edge, Virus: The Alien Stain, Mavericks of Medicine, Dreaming Wide Awake, and Women of Visionary Art. His two newest works call into the question are preparedness of the possible on-coming Singularity, that point of no return, where, because of Artificial Intelligence, our physical environment will be forever changed. Brown also finds the work that scientists have been doing with DMT an extremely important breakthrough on our collective journey to understand more about human consciousness. Hearing about the extended state DMT research currently being done leaves me curious to see where the work heads from here.

In this conversation I speak with Ethan Persoff, the American writer, archivist, and sound artist. I Ethan's digitization of The Realist magazine, Paul Krassner's pioneering magazine, is an amazing feat of internet age archivism. He also co-authored the graphic novel, John Wilcock, The New York Years, about the editor, media gadfly, and co-creator of another legendary counterculture newspaper, The Village Voice. This was fun conversation with a great Artist! Check out his work at ep.tc
In this episode I speak with John Crawley, author of the recent memoir, The Yank: The True Story of a Former Marine in the Irish Republican Army. Crawley, who was born in Long Island, New York to two Irish parents, eventually joined the Provisional IRA after he spent years in the US military, training with the elite US Marine Recon division. The book reads like a movie, as Crawley tells how he flew back to the States to begin a gun running network out of Boston, aided by none other than the Boston Mob. This is a great book, and our interview was also amazing. John thinks very philosophically when it comes to Irish Republicanism and makes those who listen wonder when, and if, it will ever be fully achieved. Take a listen!
In this episode I interview Canadian Hip-Hop Artist, NOAH23. Hailing from Guelph, Canada, NOAH23 has been a cutting-edge Emcee for just over 23 years. This year is a big one for him, as he plans on releasing no less than 7 albums, all filled with dope rhymes, cool collaborations, and music you can groove to. I've been a fan of this man's music for a long time. Getting a chance to sit down and have 23-minute chat was lovely. So, open your ears and listen!
