In this episode, I sit down with my friend and fellow fungi enthusiast Bala Yeruva for a winding conversation about mushrooms, psychedelics, healing, and the strange business of being alive.

We talk psychedelic integration, ponder the nature of reality, and share some tidbits of wisdom we’ve picked up along the windy, twisty path of spiritual healing.

Come wander through the mycelial web with us.

Fermentation is one of humanity's oldest technologies, yet somehow it's become one of the most mysterious.

In this episode, I demystify fermentation by exploring what it is, how it works, and why people have relied on it for thousands of years. We get into sauerkraut, kombucha, sourdough, miso, and spruce beer, along with the incredible communities of yeast, bacteria, and fungi that make these foods possible.

I also share one of my favourite low-budget fermentation projects—wild-fermented spruce beer made with yeast collected from the bloom on blueberries and juniper berries—and walk through how to make your first batch of sauerkraut at home.

Along the way we talk about fermentation as preservation, the microbiome, traditional knowledge, and why learning to work with living processes might be one of the most valuable skills we can reclaim in these end times.

So wash out a mason jar, trust the microbes, and let's make something alive.

Episode 1: Canaduh – National Myths, Colonialism & the Stories We Tell Ourselves

Canada is famous for being polite, peaceful, progressive, multicultural, and "the nice one."

But how much of that is reality, and how much is branding?

In this episode of The Lunatic Transgender Wizard, I dismantle some of Canada's most enduring myths through history, personal stories, and current events.

This isn't a patriotic celebration, and it isn't a history lesson.

It's a challenge to look beneath Canada's carefully crafted image and ask what kind of country we really are—and what stories we've been taught to believe.

The anthem is distorted.

The tea is hot.

Let's talk about Canada.
