The Wizard of Wamego

Dennis McDougal, an author known for tackling controversial subjects, is joined by Leonard Pickard, a key figure in a historic LSD bust. They delve into the surprising transition of a former nuclear missile silo in Wamego, Kansas, to a major LSD production site. Pickard shares his journey from drug manufacturing to spending two decades in prison and now advocating for drug policy reform. The conversation weaves together themes of culture, crime, and redemption against the backdrop of the Wizard of Oz heritage.
