Psychedelic Salon RAW podcast, part two

I listened to part two of the Robert Anton Wilson lecture rebroadcast on the Psychedelic Salon podcast (see my previous two posts) and found it worthwhile. The conspiracy stuff mostly covers familiar ground (although I don't remember hearing about the medieval black virgins before) but there are also two interesting question and answer sessions. The rest of the podcast (more than two hours) seems to be about Occupy Wall Street -- interesting, but I didn't have time to finish it.

One of my favorite SF writers, Jack Vance, wrote in his memoir that he gave up giving formal speeches and switched to simply getting up and answering all of the questions that were put to him. If there are any recordings of Wilson doing that, I'd love to hear it.

I should point out that there's also a podcast that apparently uses portions of "The Lost Studio Session" of RAW. I bought that album as soon as it came out, so I guess I don't need the podcast.

Podcast from Psychedelic Salon

I've listened to the first of the two Psychedelic Salon podcasts I mentioned yesterday. (Well, most of it. I got all the way through part one of the Robert Anton Wilson talk that Lorenzo Hagerty reprints on the podcast but my MP3 battery gave out before the rest of the two-hour podcast concluded.  The rest was Lorenzo's updates on Occupy Wall Street.)

I thought part one of RAW's talk was OK, but nonessential -- the topics covered, such as the Priory of Zion, the Merovingians, etc., are nicely covered in books such as Cosmic Trigger III. I'll listen to part two of the talk tonight and share my impressions tomorrow.

Lorenzo Hagerty apparently is an interesting guy; if you check out his podcast, be sure to look at his biography.
