Summary

Some of you have tried the ecstasy. Others have merely heard about the drug on a TV sitcom, or heard about it in a news report. Either way, MDMA's power resonates through our culture -- and sometimes it's hard to distinguish the truth form the misinformation. But what exactly is this psychoactive agent? Where does it come from and what sort of effect does it have on the human experience? Join Robert and Christian as they explore the origins and properties of MDMA.

0:00.0	Last season, millions tuned into the betrayal podcast to hear a shocking story of deception.
0:05.1	I'm Andrea Gunning, and now we're sharing an all-new story of betrayal.
0:10.3	Ashley Litten was helping her husband set up a business fanmail account when she discovered
0:14.3	a terrible secret. I saw a hidden folder, and I opened it. What the hell did I just see?
0:23.3	Listen to season two of betrayal on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your
0:28.2	podcasts. On Queen Charlotte, the official podcast, we're stepping behind the scenes and the
0:34.7	drawing boards of this team to experience the life breathed into the Bridgerton prequel. Listen to
0:40.9	the Leaps executive producer and series director Tom Verica took to capture the feeling that puts
0:46.6	that lump in your throat. And you've got to catch creator Shonda Rhymes. She's dropping gems,
0:52.5	diamonds, and mics. You can listen to Queen Charlotte, the official podcast every Thursday,
0:58.0	on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or anywhere you listen to your favorite shows.

1:59.2	sense to re-air these MDMA episodes. Again, these are from 2015, so they're a few years old,
2:05.6	and the research into MDMA and its potential therapeutic uses has continued. So these do not
2:11.4	reflect like the cutting edge of the research by any means. And likewise, we've re-arried a number
2:18.1	of episodes featuring Christian. I just want to remind everybody that Christian is alive and
2:23.8	well in the world, and he's going to check out his ongoing podcasting adventures. He is still very
2:29.4	much the co-host of Supercontext, which is like a pop culture autopsy, I believe they describe it
2:36.5	as such. Yeah, definitely worth checking out. All right, well let's venture once more into the vault.
