Summary

Here’s a preview of a new podcast, Story of the Week. Each week, journalist Joel Stein chooses an article that fascinates him, convinces the writer to tell him about it, and then interrupts a good conversation by talking about himself. Today’s story, about smoking hallucinogenic toads, was written by Kimon de Greef for the New Yorker. A Mexican doctor turned to toad poison to help cure himself of a crack addiction. The doctor then talked about his experiences during a TedX talk at Burning Man – which started his career as the world’s leading proponent of the drug.
