Media Roots Radio

Abby and Robbie Martin cover Biden’s failed Summit of the Americas, where Abby confronted Secretary of State Antony Blinken about the Israeli assassination of journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, and numerous Latin American countries boycotted due to the exclusion of Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua. They talk about the mass shootings in Uvalde and Buffalo and how this unique phenomenon is an extension of extreme American narcissism AKA Empire Baby syndrome, the strategy of tension surrounding the anti-trans hysteria being cultivated by the GOP and the leaked SCOTUS draft about overturning Roe v Wade, and how the mind bending AI art tools like DALL E 2 is about to change our reality.

Media Roots Radio on Psychedelics: Episode 3: Terrence McKenna, Ott, DMT, Pharmahuasca, Heroic Dosing, Utopianism & the Entheogen New Age Abby and Robbie dive into the psychonauts that repopularized psychedelics in the 80s and 90s, focusing on the brilliant visionary riddler Terrence McKenna and his wild theories––from Stoned Ape to TimeWave Zero––his promotion of heroic dosing, his mainstreaming of DMT and the notion of DMT 'machine elves.' They explore the complicated nature of McKenna's legacy, including the pitfalls of the utopianism that he and others elevated about heroic dosing. They also cover the lesser known Johnathan Ott, a chemist who coined the term entheogen and pushed for the production of a Pharmahuasca, a pharmaceutical pill version of Ayahuasca.

Media Roots Radio on Psychedelics: Episode 2: How Raves Brought Back the Psychedelic Subculture, DanceSafe, Pill Tests & the DEA vs MDMA Robbie and Abby Martin discuss the resurgence of psychedelics in the 80s through underground raves. Unregulated warehouse parties featured the revival of psychedelics like LSD and the arrival of MDMA and ecstasy during the era of Regan's 'War on Drugs.' Out of this subculture came DanceSafe, which administered the safe testing of ecstasy pills, and a new government fear campaign. Featuring exclusive insight from DanceSafe founder Emanuel Sferios about the suspicious flooding of the ecstasy market with DXM to help paint MDMA as a dangerous drug that melts brains.

Media Roots Radio on Psychedelics: Episode 1: A Brief History of Hallucinogens, MK-Ultra, the CIA, LSD, Leary & the Psychedelic Sixties / Seventies Robbie and Abby Martin start the series by exploring the Western world's initiation into psychedelics: the CIA buying up the world's supply of LSD to administer MK-Ultra's dark experimentation against unwitting subjects as well as thousands of volunteers through research organizations and front groups at elite universities which spawned Silicon Valley. They discuss the evolution of main characters like Timothy Leary and how the San Francisco Bay Area became a hotbed of psychedelic renaissance through the hippie movement, from the Grateful Dead to Ken Kesey. Figures like John Lilly were attempting to sync consciousness with dolphins using hallucinogenic drugs and performance art by the likes of Alex Grey and others became representative of the era. Nixon's 'War on Drugs' started the reactionary wave of psychedelic criminalization. This is Episode 1 of an ongoing series on Psychedelic History, Episodes 1-4 are availible now.

[ UNLOCKED Patreon exclusive episode ] Robbie Martin continues his series on the George W Bush smallpox bioterror scare, this time laying out the series of events and shining a light on the hyperbolic media coverage that culminated with the official Whitehouse smallpox vaccination rollout plan. A plan which creepily paralelled the buildup to the US invasion of Iraq. When the MSM covered smallpox bioterrorism from 2002-2003, Iraq becomes an increasingly mentioned potential suspect for unleashing this deadly plague. Why do virtually no Americans remember this additional hysterical fear mongering campaign about smallpox from Bush & Cheney? Robbie tries to figure out the answers as he takes you further down the labyrinthine memory hole of the post-9/11 era. This is Part 3 of an ongoing Anthrax-adjacent Media Roots Radio series about Smallpox bioterrorism.
