  • I’m in awe

    I consider myself an aficionado of cult and con man stories and this is as good as it gets.

Plus… no commercials! I hope ther... more

I was fascinated and as an aspiring cultural anthropologist, could not get enough, more

  • Balanced

    A balanced and well sourced account of Castaneda’s light and shade which leaves plenty of room for listeners to judge him for themselves.
