The Two Tongues Podcast explores the most interesting topics that aren't "fit" for popular consumption (or polite dinner conversation). Here you will find honest, unfiltered and unedited conversation between two life-long friends on the state of the world as we see it; politics, religion, mind-altering substances, psychology and philosophy are fair game. Let the fun begin!

In this episode Chris begins his exploration of the Vedas--the oldest religious holy book we know of--the holy books of the Hindus. We read a series of hymns, which put tremendous emphasis on a ritual drink called "Soma," which seems in every way to be an ancient psychedelic brew. Soma was the food of the gods and was connected to both the gods and to immortality. It was consumed also the the Vedic priests who report out-of-body experiences, unfathomable joy and the ability to commune with the divine power. We discuss if Soma was psychedelic and how these mystical, psychedelic experiences relate to the development of religious ideas.
Enjoy :)
