The Magical Mystery Tour with Tonio Epstein

Facilitating & Making Psychedelic Medicine Available for Marginalized Communities with Rebecca Martinez

Rebecca Martinez is a Xicana writer & community organizer whose work explores the intersections between collective healing, systems design and expanded states of consciousness. She’s a student of transformative justice, emergent strategy, and somatic abolitionism. She’s the founder and executive director of Alma Institute, a nonprofit educational institution that equips students from marginalized communities to become legal psychedelic facilitators. She worked on the Measure 109 campaign that produced the Psilocybin Services Act, the first ever state program to provide community-based, legal access to psilocybin services. She served as an advisor to the National Psychedelics Association, the American Psychedelic Practitioners Association, and the Plant Medicine Healing Alliance, and is a prominent voice on psychedelic justice. And she’s the author of a new book we discuss in this interview, Whole Medicine: A Guide to Ethics and Harm Reduction for Psychedelic Therapy and Plant Medicine Communities.coyo

In this interview we talk about all aspects around facilitating psychedelic medicine journeys, from the tremendous benefits and risks involved, to consent and creating safety & reducing the chance of harm, and training facilitators from marginalized communities to serve those who may not usually be able to access psychedelic medicine services.

The Magical Mystery Tour is a show that dives into the heart of things exploring new ideas and new ways of seeing and being in this wondrous crazy world we share together. New shows are available weekly by Monday. Feel free to contact me at 802-229-5123 or tonio@together.net

Caroline Casey, Visionary Activist from sister station KPFA

St Patrick*Stormy Daniels*Equinox*Eclipse-

Caroline re-re-re cahoots with Seán Pádraig O’Donoghue, as the Celtic Car Talk Gaias, with this week’s puzzler (so many)

Seán Pádraig O’Donoghue is an herbalist, writer, and teacher, and an initiated Priest in two traditions. He lives in the mountains of western Maine. Seán’s approach to healing weaves together the insights of traditional western herbalism and contemporary science. He regards physical, spiritual, and emotional healing as deeply intertwined.

Prior to becoming an herbalist, Seán was a political organizer in movements for peace, human rights, and global economic justice, and a freelance journalist documenting the human and ecological impacts of U.S. policies in Latin America.

He grew up near Boston, a short distance from where his great-grandparents first landed when they arrived from Ireland. Since childhood, he has been an avid student of Irish history and folklore. He graduated from Dartmouth College in 1996 with a degree in English Literature and Creative Writing. https://otherworldwell.com/

Final Straw Radio

This week, were sharing an interview with Xinachtli, an anarcho-communist Chicano political prisoner held in the McConnell Unit of the Texas prison system. Xinachtli, whose name is Nahuatl for seed is also known by his state name of Alvaro Luna Hernandez. Xinachtli spoke to us recently about his views on the white supremacist, colonial system of the so-called USA, the legacy of genocide of indigenous peoples in the southwest of Turtle Island, his jailhouse lawyering and his upcoming parole bid.

From our prior interview intro:


Xinachtli is serving a 50-year sentence since 1996 in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for aggravated assault on a Sheriff in Alpine, Texas. The Sheriff was serving a warrant for Xinachtlis re-arreast at Xinachtlis home. When questioned on the nature of the warrant, the Sheriff pulled a gun and Xinachtli was able to disarm him and make an escape without harming the Sheriff significantly.

After a few days of manhunt, his mother’s house was surrounded by numerous local, state and federal law enforcement agencies and the house was besieged. It was only a 9-1-1 call from Xinacthli made stating that he was not being allowed to surrender that caused the troops to stand down and he allowed himself to be taken into state custody.

The grounds for the arrest warrant have since been overturned, but based on the post-facto word of the Sheriff that Xinachtli had pointed the gun at him, Xinachtli was sentenced to 50 years. He’s been determined to be a political prisoner based on his participation in multiple cases against abuse by prison officials and police, his jailhouse lawyering, advocacy for Latinx and other marginalized people in Texas and his political stance that the US and state governments occupying the Southwest of Turtle Island is a racist and illegitimate regime.

A few notes from Xinacthli's Support Team:

Xinachtlis support team is undergoing a transition and expansion, at the moment, which is why the ways to donate aren’t more formal.

Per Xinachtlis request, donations would go to: fundraising materials, commissary, potential podcast (if the institution approves), movement building, some core team needs, jailhouse lawyer work, and for post-release support if he gets out.

If you want to donate a larger amount or have any questions prior to donating, please contact:-2024xinachtlifreedomcampaign ( at) gmail.com (preferred) or via +1 (773) 688-4329



When donating PLEASE write as a message: X, Xinachtli or an emoji that has some type of X in it.

2 AM

Project Censored

In the first half of the show, we welcome back Hassan Ben Imran, board member at the Law for Palestine organization. Hassan gives host Eleanor Goldfield updates on the ICJ case of genocide and how he believes the case is pushing the movement for Palestinian rights from the streets into the halls of policy and legislative power. Hassan also sheds light on the attack against UNWRA, the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees and how Israel used a media propaganda campaign to smear the agency so as to both shift focus from Israel’s crimes and get rid of a thorny agency whose very existence represents Palestinian’s right of return. In the second half of the show, we are all Julian Assange. As we mark the anniversary of the release of frequent guest Kevin Gosztola’s book Guilty of Journalism: The Political Case Against Julian Assange, we wait with baited breath to see if his last appeal in the UK courts will be heard or if he will soon find himself on US soil facing charges of telling the truth. Chris Hedges, George Galloway, Margaret Kimberley, John Kiriakou and more send a message to our listeners about Julian and the importance of fighting for what this one man represents.
