Frank Aragona, the host of the Agroinnovations podcast is the guest this week and we discuss the word “radical,” permaculture as a radical approach to life, and briefly the ideas of Stanislav Grof. Also featured this week is the Vitamin String Quartet’s cover of REM’s Shiny Happy people, the voices of Slavoj Zizek and Stanislav Groff, and the music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. And let us not forget Miriam’s Titanic Factoid.

Also this week is a collage about JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, God, and the State. There is a song by Chris Isto White entitled “Transcendentalisto,” some truly terrible disco versions of John William’s theme to Close Encounters, and a Titanic factoid as well.
