Episode notes

This chapter follows the narrator's transition from working in a fishing village in Alaska to accepting a position to run IT on a boat expedition to the Arctic Circle for methane research. The narrative explores the transformative impact of this experience, culminating in a profound confrontation with climate change. It also touches on the speaker's creative burst inspired by ritual magic and method acting, highlighting the interplay between personal experiences and storytelling.

In this episode, Mike Gathers chats with Joseph Matheny, multidisciplinary artist and explorer of both the wilderness and the esoteric. Joe was an old friend of Robert Anton Wilson (Joe was also Bob's chauffeur for a while), and he was talking to Bob a lot when the book Reality Is What You Can Get Away With was published, and part of the efforts in trying to get the screenplay produced.
