Hello

Greetings from Cyberdelic Space

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

And if you're looking for a way to get your mind off the pandemic for a while, well, you've come to the right place because this is going to be a long podcast.

The first part of this podcast features Dr. Ben Susser, who reads Chapter 3 of Leonard Picard's novel, The Rose of Paracelsus.

Ben's reading is followed by commentary from Dr. Thomas Roberts.

And you'll probably remember Tom Roberts from podcast 633, The Man Who Invented

Bicycle Day. Now, in the program notes for this podcast, which you will find at

psychedelic salon.com, I've added links for the previous podcasts with readings from the first two

chapters of Leonard's book. Also, in the program notes, I have posted

Leonard Picard's email address. Although he may not be able to answer everyone who writes, I'm sure

that he'll most certainly appreciate hearing from you. As you are about to hear, both Ben and Tom

have spent a significant amount of their professional lives involved in psychedelic research.

And if you have already read the Rose of Paracelsus, then you know what a powerful work of literature it is.

So, you may ask, how did I find these two amazing young women, Alexa and Cat Lakey,
