Hello everybody and welcome back to Rev Left Radio.

On today's episode we have the third installment of our ongoing sub-series with Joshua

Con Russell.

The series is called Dialectics and Psychedelics and today's episode is when we really

finally get into the psychedelic part of that title.

The first two episodes I really do think are pretty important to listen to because

it gives you a lot of crucial background into Joshua's life and his organizing and

into his struggles and in the second installment of this sub-series we dive deep into a lot

of stuff that will provide solid background information for this part of the conversation.

Because this is a topic that deserves to be handled with a certain sort of care I would

probably encourage people to listen to the sub-series in chronological order to get that

background information.

But having said that, of course it's not mandatory.

If you want to listen to this episode as a standalone episode you absolutely can.

I just think you will be missing some rather important background context for this conversation.

And given its nature and its sort of the touchy subject matter I think Joshua himself would

prefer listeners listen to the first two installments before coming into this one.

The first two installments are absolutely fascinating and wonderful.

So listening to this entire sub-series in chronological order is not only worth it for

that but it's just really interesting sort of development through those episodes.

And we're going to continue with the sub-series beyond this as well.

So for future episodes and for all that context that will be needed.
