Greetings from Cyberdelic Space

This is Lorenzo and I'm your host here in the psychedelic salon.

0:23.5

And I'm going to have to begin by saying that the title of today's podcast is intentionally misleading.

0:31.1

But it is a reminder to myself that I want to have today's guests back in the salon again really soon.

0:37.7

You see, when fellow saloner Kevin first told me about Sophia Rockland,

0:42.1

well, one of the things that I most wanted to talk with her about was her work in the Amazon,

Anyway, I'm about to play a recording of a conversation that we had in the live salon just two weeks ago.

1:45.5

And it was our last live salon for the year, but I will be getting together on Monday nights with my supporters on
