The Entourage Effect podcast is brought to you by the Australian Psychedelic Society!
Our Hosts:
Ben Brooker – Ben is a writer, editor, critic, playwright, and essayist. He is currently working on his first book, an exploration of psychedelic history, science, and culture in Australia.
Chara Caruthers – Chara is an Author, Speaker, Facilitator, Wellness expert and mentor, Yoga Teacher and therapist, and Ayurvedic Consultant/Educator.
The Entourage Effect, reflects both the drug-related phenomenon and the idea of people coming together for a shared purpose. We hope you'll love it as much as we do!
Ben and Chara are passionate about this space and are eager to encapsulate the Australian Psychedelic Scene; their Podcast theme of Community, culture, and connection, focuses on bringing together diverse voices and experiences in the psychedelic space.
At a time when psychedelics are becoming increasingly mainstreamed and medicalised, our intention with The Entourage Effect is to shine a light on the people, stories, and cultures at risk of being left behind by the 'Renaissance.'
Updated Format:
To make the podcast more engaging, we've revamped the format to include three key segments:
Pre-Interview Chat: An informal discussion between the hosts, touching on recent psychedelic-related developments.
The Interview: A conversational panel with one or more guests, focusing on community and culture.
Anonymised Trip Report: A trip report read by an actor. We’d love to feature stories from our community!
Call for Submissions:
We invite you to share your psychedelic experiences with us! Stories can be anonymous and should have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Don't forget to include any insights or lessons learned.
Note: We reserve the right to edit reports for the readings for the sake of clarity and length.
Submit your stories to: entourageeffect@psychedelicsociety.org.au or read more about story submissions.
Storytelling Tips:
Beginning: Set the scene and introduce the context.
Middle: Describe the experience in detail, including emotions and thoughts.
End: Reflect on the insights and lessons gained from the experience.
We’re excited to amplify voices from the underground and grassroots psychedelic community. Stay tuned for more engaging content and join us on this journey!
