Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

390 Abbie Rosner: The Psychedelic Renaissance Among Older Adults
Q: What does safety look like in this context?
She explains a protocol built around set and setting, preparation with a trained facilitator, medical screening, and a careful choice of medicine and dose, underscoring that experiences are not spontaneous but carefully managed for safety.
390 Abbie Rosner: The Psychedelic Renaissance Among Older Adults
Q: Was there a particular moment that made you want to explore psychedelics in aging?
Rosner describes a combination of personal history, therapy, meditation, and a late rediscovery of cannabis that reframed her perspective; a birthday gift of Michael Pollan's How to Change Your Mind sparked a deeper investigation into clinical research and transformative potential.
388 Katina Strauch: Founder and visionary of the Charleston Conference
Q: What gave you the confidence to start something new at that age?
Her answer centers on clearing her own path by turning a perceived lack of collaboration into an opportunity: bringing people together created a practical solution that gradually gained traction as others saw value in shared dialogue.
385 Regan Burke: Using Your Voice for Good
Q: Is there ongoing activism you're involved in now?
She describes recent rallies around the Hancock building, efforts to engage seniors and younger voters, and a commitment to continue organizing in accessible ways for people with mobility needs.
385 Regan Burke: Using Your Voice for Good
Q: So, what does that mean to be called a political operative?
Regan explains she started in local campaigns, canvassing and organizing rallies, and that volunteering and saying yes led to opportunities to work on campaigns and in government, shaping a lifelong pattern of organizing.
