“Modern Occulture”, from Wisconsin’s great public radio show, produced by Steve Paulson:
If traditional religion has lost its luster, where do you find sacred experiences? Anthropologist Erik Davis goes looking around the edges of contemporary culture – from Burning Man and trance music to psychedelics. He says there’s a long history of the esoteric, but it plays out in popular culture and in some very weird places.
Erik Davis is an author, scholar, podcaster, and speaker based in San Francisco.
