Episode 7 - Shane Mauss (Psychonautics documentary)

More recently, Shane made a documentary called Psychonautics: A Comic's Exploration of Psychedelics.

Comedian Shane Mauss goes on a series of adventures to deepen his understanding of psychedelics. He describes the indescribable and takes us through some of his most intense experiences, while getting the added perspectives of some of the top scientists and experts in this realm. With moments of both confusion and clarity, this is as an honest account of the experiences of a genuine Psychonaut.

Listen to our conversation here:

Shane Mauss is a standup comedian, a podcaster, and an explorer of inner space. In this interview, we discuss Shane's last big tour, "A Good Trip" which featured standup comedy about psychedelic research and psychedelics in our culture.  More recently, Shane made a documentary called Psychonautics: A Comic's Exploration of Psychedelics.

He also has a new tour, Stand Up Science, coming to a city near you.

This interview was part of some research for a project on public relations for "fringe" movements. We don't talk about travel, an expedition, or anything like that. But, after watching Psychonautics recently, it became very clear to me that Shane embodies the spirit of adventure and exploration that this show is about.

Shane's podcast, Here We Are, features weekly interviews with scientists around the world.
