Plants of the Gods: Hallucinogens, Healing, Culture and Conservation podcast
“Plants of the Gods: Hallucinogens, Healing, Culture and Conservation” is a new and unique podcast focusing on the hallucinogenic plants and fungi whose impact on world culture and religion – and healing potential - is only now beginning to be appreciated as never before. Unlike other podcasts relating to these issues, “Plants of the Gods” is hosted by renowned ethnobotanist Dr. Mark Plotkin, a Harvard and Yale-trained scientist who has been studying the healing plants and shamans of the Amazon rainforest for almost four decades. An award-winning scientist and best selling author, Dr, Plotkin is a spellbinding storyteller who will be speaking from personal experience and will be joined by other leaders in the field.

I stumbled upon this and am looking forward to listening. I’m a self taught ethnobotanist and many years ago I devoured Schultes & Raffauf’s The Healing Forest in addition to your books. This podcast will keep me busy for awhile!
Well done!

Really appreciate the respect Dr. Plotkin has for the Indigenous communities and sharing this valuable knowledge. I stumbled upon this podcast and it’s definitely one of my top 3 favorite podcasts of all time. Thank you 🙏🏽
One of the most interesting and important podcasts I listen to

This is fascinating series of discussions about human interaction with the environment and plants and other species through history and prehistory with a solid scientific foundation. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Prof. Plotkin offers so much unique information and insight into Amazonian tribal culture and ethnobotany. Each episode is something of an entertaining college lecture. He talks from decades of first hand experience, not just theory, with exuberance aplenty. A Peruvian naturalist recommended Plotkin’s “Tales of a Shaman’s Apprentice” and Vargas-Lossa’s “The Storyteller,” both astonishing and so worthwhile
