If you've spent any time wandering the borderlands where technognosis, occulture, and the weirdosphere collide, you already know Erik Davis - a scholar of the weird who has spent decades mapping the multidimensional margins of human consciousness. In the latest installment of his always-inspiring Burning Shore newsletter, Erik shares some welcome news: the entire catalogue of his Expanding Mind podcast, after vanishing from the web without warning, is back and now safely enshrined on YouTube, ready to stream.
Expanding Mind was, and still is, a cult show. Running for a decade - first with co-host Maja D'Aoust, then solo - Erik Davis engaged in what he calls a "soul-making art": deep, unscripted, highly spontaneous conversations with a rich variety of guests, ranging from hermetic mages and Buddhist sages to cyberpunk coders, animist scholars, and legends like Alan Moore. The show was raw, low-tech, unmonetized, and totally brilliant - pure brain candy. So: rejoice, all you Davisians and Davis-heads (is that a thing? It should be), and the yet-to-be-converted: the circus is back in town.
And there's more. Erik went the extra mile and created the Expanding Mind Eternal Radio: an infinite loop of the entire archive, pure catnip for synchronicity-heads everywhere. In true technognostic fashion, you can now step inside a living sculpture made of language. Knock yourself out: Expanding Mind Eternal Radio.
