In Season One , non-speaking individuals with autism reveal striking telepathic abilities that challenge everything we thought we knew about the mind. In Season Two - The Consciousness Cassettes, the lens widens to extraordinary experiences that invite us to rethink reality itself. From near death experiences to telepathic communication with animals, energy healing to plant intelligence, and the origins of creativity to sudden savant abilities - each episode offers a rare glimpse into the vast terrain of consciousness beyond the brain.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-31T16:19:50.226034+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-telepathy-tapes-7006948"},"episode":{"title":"S2E39: Ibogaine Inquiries Part I: Remember the Name","slug":"s2e39-ibogaine-inquiries-part-i-remember-the-name","published_at":"2026-07-22T07:03:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-telepathy-tapes-7006948/s2e39-ibogaine-inquiries-part-i-remember-the-name","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-telepathy-tapes-7006948","url":"https://pscrb.fm/rss/p/tracking.swap.fm/track/c4u9TdQ5gsDmCq9TETNl/mgln.ai/e/213/rss.art19.com/episodes/f73ca698-494f-46f0-9a9a-52d8152ee3a6.mp3?rss_browser=BAhJIg90cmFuc2NyaWJyBjoGRVQ%3D--952c5701c84ad333c69d5faa668f8177091704f0","audio_url":"https://pscrb.fm/rss/p/tracking.swap.fm/track/c4u9TdQ5gsDmCq9TETNl/mgln.ai/e/213/rss.art19.com/episodes/f73ca698-494f-46f0-9a9a-52d8152ee3a6.mp3?rss_browser=BAhJIg90cmFuc2NyaWJyBjoGRVQ%3D--952c5701c84ad333c69d5faa668f8177091704f0","summary":"Why is everyone suddenly talking about ibogaine? After President Trump signed an executive order fast-tracking psychedelic research, a little-known plant medicine from Central Africa found itself at the center of a national conversation. Advocates call it a breakthrough for addiction, PTSD, and traumatic brain injury. Critics urge caution. But how did we get here? In the first episode of The Ibogaine Inquiries , Ky Dickens and Katherine Ellis trace ibogaine's unlikely path from sacred ceremonies in Gabon to veterans seeking healing in Mexico, and ultimately to the halls of American politics. Along the way, former Texas Governor Rick Perry, Admiral Jim Hancock, and physician Dr. Martín Polanco share the personal experiences that transformed them from skeptics into advocates. A note to listeners: This series is intended to inform, not encourage the use of ibogaine. Ibogaine is a powerful psychoactive substance with serious medical risks and should never be used without thorough medical evaluation and appropriate supervision. As you'll hear throughout this series, increasing global demand has also had profound consequences for the Indigenous communities in Gabon who have safeguarded Iboga and its traditions for generations. We encourage you to listen to the full series before drawing conclusions or seeking out treatment. _______ To support the indigenous peoples of Gabon, Africa and help protect the sacred Iboga plant , please visit https://blessingsoftheforest.org/ where you can learn about those who use this medicine ceremoniously, have for thousands of years, and whose access is in grave danger. _______ Join The Telepathy Tapes Backstage Pass to get ad-free episodes, never-before-heard interviews, behind-the-scenes documentary footage, and access to our private Discord…","meta_description":"Why is everyone suddenly talking about ibogaine?
