  • Ky Dickens on Universal Consciousness, Mediums, Remote Viewing & What Science Still Can't Explain. Inside The Telepathy Tapes S2
    Oct 24 2025
    Are telepathy & mind-reading real? Can consciousness exist beyond the brain? Are we living multiple lives at once? The Telepathy Tapes: Season 2 EXCLUSIVE with Filmmaker Ky Dickens In this jaw-dropping, mind-expanding episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, award-winning filmmaker and viral podcast host Ky Dickens returns with a first look at Season 2 of The Telepathy Tapes — and what she reveals will challenge everything you think you know about the human mind, death, and the nature of reality. Ky shares real stories of people accessing impossible knowledge through telepathy and remote viewing, whether plants communicate with us (she says yes and shares her personal proof!), and scientific experiments she has personally witnessed that are finally taking telepathy seriously. Ky Dickens also breaks down:- How Alzheimer's, dementia, and even death can unlock extrasensory abilities- The mystifying moment when the brain shuts down...and something else turns on- Why children learn PSI abilities faster than adults- Scientific experiments that are finally taking telepathy seriously- What nonspeakers are saying after death, and how it’s changing science- Telepathic communication medical caregivers are witnessing in hospitals- Differences between talking to the dead vs the living, telepathically- Is Consciousness manifesting its will through us?- Why unlocking one PSI ability often activates others- Shocking idea that we're living multiple lives simultaneously- Why our beliefs about the afterlife may be based on ancient NDEs- Are these once-taboo topics going mainstream? PLUS...Ky shares her candid response to being attacked by materialists after Season 1, and how Season 2 may crush skepticism for good! Whether you're a skeptic, seeker, or scientist, this conversation will leave you questioning reality…and maybe even stepping outside of it.

  • Part Two: Paul Stamets on Why We’re Not Meant to Be Sick: What Fungi Teach Us About Consciousness & the Future of Human Health
    Oct 22 2025
    Could Mushrooms Save the World? Join the world’s most renowned mycologist Paul Stamets—author of Psilocybin Mushrooms in Their Natural Habitats—as he dives deep into the astonishing power of fungi, mycelium, and psychedelic mushrooms to transform not just our health, but our consciousness, society, and planet. In this mind-expanding episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Stamets reveals: - How psilocybin therapy is helping people overcome trauma, anxiety, and even the fear of death - How a heroic dose of mushrooms changed his life, helped cure his stutter, and opened his spiritual awareness - Powerful anatomy of fungi vs. mycelium vs. mushrooms, and how they mirror the structure of the universe - Why mycelium networks prove the health benefits of random acts of kindness - Humans are descendants of mycelium (and what that means for our evolution!) - Crucial role mushrooms play in biodiversity, ecosystem survival, and as the "lungs of the planet" - Difference between microdosing vs. macrodosing, and the creative, emotional, and neurological benefits of each - Why a "Mycelium Revolution" is sweeping the planet, and how it could unite humanity - Why Stamets believes psilocybin may be the key to curing our global creativity crisis - Sacred cultural history of mushrooms, and why honoring Indigenous wisdom is vital to our future - How mushrooms could help us clean pollution, build sustainable materials, revolutionize agriculture, and even colonize space So why isn’t psilocybin therapy more accessible? Why are thousands of mushroom species psychedelic? And how can fungi rewire society for healing, empathy, and planetary survival? Discover how mushrooms might not just change your mind, but also save the world. Watch now and prepare to see fungi in a whole new light!

  • Re-Air: Bari Weiss: Age of Rising Conspiracy
    Oct 9 2025
    In celebration of Bari Weiss' new position as Editor-in-Chief at CBS News, we are revisiting our conversation from 2 years ago! Bari Weiss (founder and editor of The Free Press, host of the Honestly podcast) opens up about her very public resignation from The New York Times, how the polarized mainstream media and negative news cycle can impact our wellness as a society, and the importance of being able to have conversations with people you may not always agree with. She explains how the digital revolution transformed the business model of news as an institution and considers the source of people’s paranoia with mainstream news, which has led to a rise in conspiracy theories. Bari reveals why her own grandma called her a right wing fascist, the values and historical perspective that guide her to stand up in the face of fear, and what the rise of gurus can tell us about our era. She discusses the importance of community and why sacrificing comfort is sometimes necessary to live a meaningful life.
