Customer Reviews
It Was Great!
There’s loads to be learned here if you’re at all interested in thinking, culture, alternatives, drugs, and California. Erik went everywhere with this pod, and kept a level head, following the ‘belief-is-the-death-of-intelligence’ precept of Robert Anton Wilson.
Will the show make a return? One can hope.
A real gift
Expanding Mind, and all of Erik's work that I've found, is an antidote to mainstream perspectives of the world and human experience. While outside the norm, his explorations and the space he makes for his guests make the norm make more sense. Erik's work is a gift that I look forward to every week. For all the brilliant moments and thinkers I've found through Expanding Mind, thank you.
Brilliant Podcast.
Erik has a way of articulating intricacies and exploring very fun topics with a thought-provoking openness. I can’t stop listening.
