Host Rainbow Valentine discovers her artist mom and 'businessman' dad were deeply involved in the illegal drug trade and unknowingly spent her childhood among a massive pot distribution operation. As she talks with her father in intimate interviews, Rainbow Valentine uncovers a history of her childhood that causes her to reassess everything — and gives us a unique personal window into the infamous counter-culture of Marin County in the 70s and 80s -- from Ken Kesey's acid tests and the birth of the Grateful Dead to a drug culture that hardened and became more dangerous in response to the War On Drugs.

Great!

This a fun, easy to listen to, and hilarious podcast. A little disorganised as the podcast episode titles do not reveal the order. It is not clear when one season ends and one begins. Other than that—very minor—thing, everyone should give it a go!

Disappointing

Unfortunately tonedeaf. I would urge the narrator to do some research about how marijuana has been a driver of mass criminalization and how this disproportionately affects Black and Brown people. This could be an opportunity to educate their listeners and themselves about the racial politics of drug smuggling.

A little disorganised but a lot of fun

This is a well produced (if not brilliantly recorded) podcast that is, well, a very enjoyable listen. I don’t know what it’s building towards but who cares? The story is rich, the characters are fascinating and it’s joyously anti establishment. Pass this one around, your friends will thank you.
