The Psychedelic Renaissance Explained - a podcast by Armin Khayatian & Colin Ball

In our first episode we introduce ourselves, the podcast, and help you understand this so-called ‘Psychedelic Renaissance’. We synthesized over 7000 years of history to explain how cave paintings of mushroom-wielding shaman have led to FDA approved research, millions in VC funding, and an emerging early-stage industry. If you want to dive deeper into some of the leading academic research we referenced you should start with the work at Johns Hopkins Center for Psychedelic & Consciousness Research [https://hopkinspsychedelic.org/publications] and Imperial College’s Center for Psychedelic Research [https://www.imperial.ac.uk/psychedelic-research-centre/research/]. 

Additional resources discussed in the episode include: 

• MAPS: Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies [https://maps.org/about/mission]


• What the Dormouse Said: How the Sixties Counterculture Shaped the Personal Computer Industry by John Markoff [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What_the_Dormouse_Said]


• Other great timelines that helped inform our research included those by Psychedelic Times [https://psychedelictimes.com/psychedelic-timeline/] and Psychedelic Science Review [https://psychedelicreview.com/timelines/cultural-events/]
