In this episode I was joined by fellow musician and psychonaut Dr Jack Hunter as we spoke about our shared love for psychedelic rock, and explored Jack's current research into music and extraordinary experiences. 

An extraordinary experience can be defined as "a special, unusual, or unexpected event that is highly memorable and emotionally charged." Extraordinary experiences might be interpreted as paranormal, spiritual, mystical, psychedelic or just plain weird!
