Gargs Allard interviews Achyutananda Das, one of Hare Krishna founder AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada's first initiates.
Achyutananda Das (aka Charles Barnett) who is now 72, became Srila Prabhupada's student at the age of 17 and soon lived in India for the next 11 years, where he became a successful musician and Vedic lecturer.
Prior to that, he was the flautist for counterculture musician Richie Havens, who led off Woodstock.
Achyutananda recorded musical albums in the 1970s and has also more recently published a well-received book about the pioneering days of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness and his memories of his spiritual master and other spiritual mentors in his life.
We discuss all these things and more in this the sixth episode of the Gargsville Podcast.

Gargs guest is 89-year-old Will Lewis, former instructor at the University of Florida, former news director of WUFT TV in the 1960s, one of the pioneers of KCRW, and the man who went to jail for withholding the SLA tapes involving Patty Hearst from the FBI while heading KPFK 90.7 FM Los Angeles / 98.7 FM Santa Barbara.
He got his Bachelor’s at the University of Miami, his Master’s at Boston University and was awarded a Fellowship at Columbia University.
We discuss these things and much more, including the anti-semitism his father dealt with in Miami in the 1940s, and his service in the Marines during Korean War, where he wrote for Stars & Stripes.
Will's younger brother, Marty Lewis (the voice of Old Uncle Hound), also makes an appearance.

In this sometimes fun and sometimes sober interview with Fountains of Wayne lead guitarist Jody Porter, Gargs and Jody discuss Jody's upcoming solo album Waterways, coping during the pandemic, and his life and times with Fountains of Wayne bandmates, Chris Collingwood, Brian Young, and the late Adam Schlesinger.
