S2E54: When Caelum Came Back Part II | Talk Tracks02 Oct 202600:41:37

In Part Two of Caelum's story, we go deeper into the writings and experiences he has shared with his family since learning to communicate through facilitated communication.

Joining Caelum's mother, Anne-Marie, is his brother Jacob, who has spent years communicating with Caelum and documenting his thoughts in journals. Together, they share Caelum's reflections on God, consciousness, death, and what he says he experienced during the time he was outside his body after his drowning.

Caelum describes being given a choice to remain in the presence of God or return to this reality, and explains why he believes he came back with a purpose: to teach. He shares his understanding of what happens after death, what he calls different “realities” and levels of consciousness, and the role of love, service, and free will in our lives.

We also hear some of Caelum's poetry and reflections on his paintings, as well as stories about the unusual ways his family says he perceives the people and world around him.

S2E53: When Caelum Came Back Part I | Talk Tracks30 Sep 202600:30:41

At 17 months old, Caelum Miller suffered a near-fatal drowning that left him with a severe traumatic brain injury. Doctors told his family he would likely remain in a vegetative state for the rest of his life. But his parents refused to close the door on what might be possible.

Years later, Caelum learned to communicate through facilitated communication and began sharing thoughts, memories, and experiences that his family says challenged everything they understood about his consciousness.

In this episode, Caelum and his mother, Anne-Marie, tell the story of his remarkable recovery and the moment communication changed everything. Caelum describes what he says he experienced while outside his body, including an encounter with a deceased musician he had never met, and shares his perspective on God, consciousness, and what he believes happens beyond this physical world.

We also hear from Anne-Marie about the skepticism surrounding facilitated communication, the years of journals documenting Caelum's words, and what it has meant for their family to discover a voice they were once told they would never hear.

S2E52: BONUS: The Wisdom of Connection with Dr. Zach Bush24 Sep 202600:44:12

In this bonus episode from our partner series The Telepathy Tapes: Now What?, Betsy and Libby sit down with Dr. Zach Bush for a conversation about one of the ideas at the heart of their experiences as parents: what if our children are perceiving the world in ways we have forgotten how to perceive ourselves?

The conversation begins with nature. Betsy reflects on how her son Joe is drawn to the earth, water, and the natural world, while she often finds herself caught up in the worries of everyday life. From there, Zach explores his belief that life is fundamentally built through relationship and that many of us have become disconnected from that sense of interconnection.

They talk about autism, sensory experience, food, the microbiome, and why Zach believes some nonspeaking autistic people may be deeply attuned to environmental signals that others have learned to filter out. They also discuss parenting, the exhaustion of trying to control outcomes, and what can happen when caregivers begin to follow their child's lead rather than constantly trying to make their child fit into the world around them.

For parents who have spent years asking What do I do?, Zach offers a different question: What happens if we become quiet enough to notice what our children are already showing us?

S2E51: Willow Smith on Creativity, Consciousness, and Music | Talk Tracks23 Sep 202600:48:03

Grammy-nominated artist Willow Smith joins Ky Dickens for a deeply personal conversation about music as medicine, dreams as creative portals, spirituality, and the mystery of human connection.

Willow shares how a lifetime of curiosity - from sacred traditions and nature to science and consciousness - has shaped her creative life. She reflects on music as a devotional and communal practice, the role of intuition in her songwriting, and the profound experiences that have expanded her sense of what may be possible.

She also discusses “Talk On The Hill,” her beautiful song from her newest album The Thread, inspired by the non-speakers of The Telepathy Tapes and the extraordinary possibilities of communication beyond words.

TRAILER: The Reincarnation Records (Telepathy Tapes Season 3)18 Sep 202600:02:46

The Telepathy Tapes returns October 7 with Season 3: The Reincarnation Records.

If The Telepathy Tapes deconstructed what you believe about consciousness, The Reincarnation Records may shatter it.

On October 7th, Ky Dickens takes on one of humanity’s oldest questions in a new podcast, The Reincarnation Records: What if memory doesn’t begin at birth? If The Telepathy Tapes challenged the way we think about consciousness, The Reincarnation Records confronts evidence that could alter what we believe about death.

Around the world, young children have described lives they seemingly never lived. They remember people they’ve never met, speak languages they’ve never learned, and know intimate details about places they’ve never visited. Some describe sudden or traumatic deaths, with birthmarks that appear to mirror the injuries they recall. Others exhibit unexplained fears, behaviors or extraordinary abilities that seem to belong to the lives they claim came before. And remarkably, in most cases, simply allowing children to talk about these memories appears to bring profound emotional and even physical healing.

In a worldwide investigation spanning France, Nepal, Vietnam, Germany, Brazil, Tibet, Sri Lanka, and the United States, Dickens works with researchers and experts from around the world, including scholars affiliated with the University of Virginia and Harvard, to examine extraordinary cases and the evidence behind them. We meet children whose memories contain startlingly specific details that can sometimes be independently verified, and families whose understanding of reality has been transformed by what their children remember. Along the way, we trace the ancient debate over whether we’ve lived before, from contested ideas in early Christianity to the extraordinary Tibetan Buddhist process used to identify the reincarnating Dalai Lama.

Could suggestion, coincidence or cultural influence explain these stories? What happens when a child’s statements are documented before anyone knows whom they might be describing? And if even a fraction of these cases resist conventional explanation, what happens to the worldview we’ve built around the idea that consciousness begins at birth and ends at death?

S2E50: When Frontier Science Enters Mainstream Journals: Energy Healing Cancer Study Update | Talk Tracks16 Sep 202600:38:53

In Season 2 of The Consciousness Cassettes, Ky explored a groundbreaking study at MD Anderson Cancer Center examining energy healing, also known as biofield therapy, in pancreatic cancer cells and mice. Now, that research has officially been published.

Ky returns to the study with integrative oncologist Dr. Santosh Rao and Meredith Sprengel, Research and Program Director of the Subtle Energy Funders Collective. Together, they unpack the study’s most compelling findings, including slower cancer cell growth, reduced invasiveness, and significantly fewer visible liver metastases in some of the mouse experiments.

Together they go behind the scenes of the scientific process to examine why frontier research can be so difficult to fund, study, and publish, especially when its proposed mechanism does not fit neatly within the current scientific paradigm. What does peer review actually involve? Why was the paper withdrawn shortly before publication by one journal? And what will it take to move energy healing research forward?

The publication gives scientists something concrete to replicate, challenge, and build upon, inviting us all to approach the unexplained as open-minded skeptics.

S2E49: Dr. Jeffrey Mishlove: The World's only Parapsychology PhD | Talk Tracks09 Sep 202600:27:58

Can dreams and synchronicities be the Universe's way of leading you to become your best self? 

In this Talk Tracks episode, Ky sits down with researcher, author, and talk show host Dr. Jeffrey Mishlove, the world's first and only PhD in Parapsychology.

For fifty years Dr. Mishlove has hosted radio, television, and podcast shows where he interviewed the top minds in frontier science, speaking with leaders in fields such as physics and psychology. Currently his Youtube channel, New Thinking Allowed, releases new episodes daily. 

Dr. Mishlove has also authored articles and books on the paranormal and psychical research, including The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. 

Together, Ky and Dr. Mishlove explore the shared death experience that launched his career in parapsychology, and the dreams that guided his journey. Dr. Mishlove also shares stories from early-1970s San Francisco, reflecting on the eclectic cast of characters who shaped that era. Finally, they dive into his award-winning 2021 Bigelow Institute essay, which presents compelling evidence for the survival of human consciousness after permanent bodily death.

S2E48: Shared Death Experiences | Talk Tracks02 Sep 202600:41:59

What happens when someone seems to experience another person’s death from the inside?

In this episode of The Talk Tracks, Ky explores the little-known phenomenon of shared death experiences - reports in which a loved one, caregiver, or even someone far away from the dying person describes seeing, feeling, or briefly accompanying part of their transition.

We hear extraordinary firsthand accounts from Christine Coyne and Elizabeth Boisson, as well as the story of Dr. Joan Borysenko and her son, who both reported unusual experiences as Joan’s mother died. Researcher William Peters explains the patterns his team has identified across more than 150 reported cases, including a surprising number that occurred remotely, sometimes before the experiencer even knew a death was taking place.

Ky also speaks with neuroscientist Dr. Marjorie Woollacott and physician Dr. Monica Williams about what these accounts may tell us about consciousness, the limits of our current scientific models, and why healthcare providers should be prepared to listen when patients and families report experiences they cannot easily explain.

S2E47: Chani Nicholas: Astrology Beyond the Horoscope | Talk Tracks26 Aug 202600:50:17

Astrology is often reduced to sun signs and daily horoscopes, but its history and practice go far deeper.

In this episode, Ky sits down with New York Times bestselling author and astrologer Chani Nicholas for a wide-ranging exploration of what astrology actually is, where it comes from, and how it has been used across centuries. Chani breaks down the basics of a birth chart, rising signs, houses, planets, and timing techniques, while tracing astrology back to ancient systems of observing patterns between the sky and life on Earth.

Together they explore fate versus free will, astrology as a tool for self-understanding and purpose, and the idea that the movements of the cosmos may reflect patterns unfolding within a larger, interconnected reality. Chani explains the major astrological shifts happening now and what previous cycles might suggest about the moment we’re living through.

Whether you’re deeply versed in astrology or have never looked beyond your sun sign, this conversation offers a fascinating introduction to the history, philosophy, and practice behind one of humanity’s oldest systems for making meaning of the sky.

S2E46: PREVIEW: Awakening Your Intuition: How to Access Your Clairs20 Aug 202600:08:53

How do we learn to recognize and strengthen our intuition, and what might change if we were given language for it as children?

In this preview of a Backstage Pass bonus episode, our Producer, Solina Kennedy, sits down with Jen Lansink and Kate Trotter, authors of Clair and Her Magical Friends, a children’s book introducing four intuitive senses: clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience, and claircognizance.

Together, they explore how these abilities can show up in everyday life, why they may be easier to recognize in childhood, and how parents and caregivers can create space for kids to talk openly about unusual feelings, knowings, dreams, and perceptions. They also share simple ways adults can begin paying closer attention to their own intuition.

S2E46: The Languages of Intuition | Talk Tracks19 Aug 202600:23:31

What if intuition isn’t a rare gift, but a capacity we all possess in different ways?

This week, Ky sits down with intuitive teacher Anna Naturalista, who says her own psychic experiences began in early childhood and were encouraged rather than dismissed by the family and spiritual traditions around her.

Anna introduces what she calls the six languages of intuition. From clairvoyance and clairaudience to the lesser-known experiences of intuitive knowing, feeling, taste, and smell - and shares practical ways she believes we can become more aware of the signals already showing up in our lives.

Together, Ky and Anna explore the difference between intuition and ordinary thought, why self-trust may be essential to hearing our internal guidance, and how slowing down enough to notice our patterns can help us distinguish meaningful signals from the noise around us.

The conversation ultimately turns toward love, service, and a simple question: when we find ourselves longing for something from the outside world, what might change if we first looked for a way to offer it ourselves?

S2E45: Casey Carter: The Teacher Who Started Hearing Her Student’s Thoughts | Talk Tracks12 Aug 202600:48:59

When neurodevelopmental teacher Casey Carter began working with a 12-year-old nonspeaking autistic student named Jed, she quickly realized there was far more happening beneath the surface than others could see. After helping him communicate through typing, Casey says she discovered that Jed could read her thoughts. Soon, she began hearing his thoughts back.

In this episode, Casey shares the extraordinary connection that transformed her understanding of communication, consciousness, and reality. She and Ky explore telepathy, bilocation, altered experiences of time, spiritual realms, and what Jed has taught her about love, intention, and the abilities we may all carry within us.

Casey also shares the story behind Converging Hearts (https://www.converginghearts.com/), the creative space she and Jed are building for nonspeaking adults to communicate, create, and be fully understood.

S2E44: Is Spelling Really “Debunked”? An Advocate Responds | Talk Tracks05 Aug 202600:51:36

After The New York Times published an opinion piece arguing that spelling-based communication has been “debunked,” writer and communication-rights advocate David Kaufer joins Ky Dickens to examine the claims, and the evidence they leave out.

David shares how spelling transformed the life of his nonspeaking autistic son, Stone, revealing his intelligence, love of learning, and dreams for the future after years of being denied access to age-appropriate education and meaningful communication.

Together, David and Ky unpack the arguments surrounding facilitator influence, the ideomotor effect, and decades-old message-passing studies frequently cited against spelling. They also explore newer eye-tracking research, the role of apraxia and regulation, potential conflicts of interest within autism research, and why nonspeakers are often required to prove authorship in ways speakers are not.

Stone then joins the conversation to respond in his own words and share a message of hope with other nonspeakers. This episode asks what is lost when skepticism becomes dismissal, and why access to communication must be treated as a matter of dignity, safety, and fundamental human rights.

S2E43: Ibogaine Inquiries Part V: Before the Forest Is Gone31 Jul 202600:25:12

As global interest in ibogaine accelerates, the consequences are already being felt in Gabon.

Wild Iboga is disappearing, prices are rising, and traditional practitioners are losing access to a plant that has shaped spiritual and communal life for generations. And beyond the forest, inexperienced providers are beginning to offer powerful ceremonies without the training, accountability, or relationships that Bwiti leaders believe the work requires.

In the final episode of The Ibogaine Inquiries, we examine what can happen when a sacred medicine spreads faster than the wisdom surrounding it. Conservationist Yann Guignon, Bwiti master Simon Pierre, and Indigenous scholar Dr. Christine Dindisi explore the dangers of commodification, and the possibility of a different path forward.

_______

A note to listeners: This series is intended to inform, not encourage the use of ibogaine. Ibogaine is a powerful psychoactive substance with serious medical risks and should never be used without thorough medical evaluation and appropriate supervision. As you'll hear throughout this series, increasing global demand has also had profound consequences for the Indigenous communities in Gabon who have safeguarded Iboga and its traditions for generations.

S2E42: Ibogaine Inquiries Part IV: Who Owns a Sacred Medicine?29 Jul 202600:26:04

For centuries, the people of Gabon protected iboga as a sacred medicine. Then a gift intended to help others changed everything.

In this episode, we trace Iboga's remarkable journey from colonial France to New York City, where a young man named Howard Lotsof discovered its potential to interrupt addiction and dedicated his life to bringing ibogaine into modern medicine. But as scientific interest grew, so did difficult questions about patents, ownership, and who should benefit from knowledge that had been safeguarded by Indigenous communities for generations.

Featuring conservationist Yann Guignon, filmmaker Lucy Walker, and Indigenous scholar Dr. Christine Dindisi, this episode explores the history that shaped today's iboga renaissance, and asks whether scientific progress and Indigenous stewardship can move forward together.

S2E41: Ibogaine Inquiries Part III: The Sacred Roots of Iboga27 Jul 202600:32:59

Long before ibogaine entered Western clinics and laboratories, the plant it comes from held a sacred place in Gabonese life. In Part III of Ibogaine Inquiries, we travel to Gabon to explore Bwiti, the spiritual tradition in which iboga is understood as a teacher, guide, and living presence.

Gabonese practitioners and Bwiti initiates describe the preparation, community, music, mentorship, and lifelong practice that surround the medicine. They explain why Iboga cannot be separated from the larger body of knowledge developed around it. As Western interest continues to grow, this episode asks what may be lost when a sacred plant and its active compound are removed from the people, traditions, and relationships that have safeguarded them for generations.

S2E40: Ibogaine Inquiries Part II: The Intelligence of the Medicine24 Jul 202600:36:25

People around the world describe remarkably similar experiences with ibogaine: encounters with ancestors, shared dreams, telepathic abilities, and moments that seem to transcend ordinary consciousness.

Are these a coincidence, a hallucination, or something science has yet to explain?

In this episode, psychologists, neuroscientists, chemists, physicians, and former patients explore why ibogaine appears unlike any other psychedelic they've studied. From blindfolded perception and shared visions to groundbreaking brain research and the search for safer treatments, we examine the growing evidence and the enduring mystery surrounding one of the world's most extraordinary medicines.

S2E39: Ibogaine Inquiries Part I: Remember the Name22 Jul 202600:34:42

Why is everyone suddenly talking about ibogaine?

After President Trump signed an executive order fast-tracking psychedelic research, a little-known plant medicine from Central Africa found itself at the center of a national conversation. Advocates call it a breakthrough for addiction, PTSD, and traumatic brain injury. Critics urge caution. But how did we get here?

In the first episode of The Ibogaine Inquiries, Ky Dickens and Katherine Ellis trace ibogaine's unlikely path from sacred ceremonies in Gabon to veterans seeking healing in Mexico, and ultimately to the halls of American politics. Along the way, former Texas Governor Rick Perry, Admiral Jim Hancock, and physician Dr. Martín Polanco share the personal experiences that transformed them from skeptics into advocates.

S2E38: From Skeptic to Advocate: Becca Cramer Returns | Talk Tracks15 Jul 202600:55:27

In this episode of The Talk Tracks, Becca Cramer, a nuclear engineer, writer, and skeptic turned believer, returns to the studio to share what she has learned since her first investigation into The Telepathy Tapes. 

What began as an attempt to debunk the claims surrounding spelling and telepathy has since evolved into a commitment to advocating for nonspeakers and challenging the assumptions that continue to limit their access to communication.

After meeting spellers, families, and communication partners, and engaging directly with researchers on both sides of the debate, Becca has gained a deeper understanding of apraxia, motor planning, authorship, and the difference between support and control.

Becca and Ky explore why the validity of spelling must be considered separately from the question of telepathy, and why the possibility of influence does not mean a nonspeaker’s words are not their own. Together, they examine the emerging research, the institutional resistance that remains, and what must change for nonspeakers’ communication, autonomy, and lived experiences to be taken seriously.

S2E38: PREVIEW: Ask Me Anything with Dr. Christopher Kerr09 Jul 202600:08:35

In this special preview of a subscriber-exclusive Ask Me Anything, hospice physician and end-of-life researcher Dr. Christopher Kerr returns to answer listeners’ most burning questions about what happens as we die.

Dr. Kerr shares what he has witnessed after decades at the bedside: why dying may be less frightening than we imagine, how end-of-life dreams and visions can bring comfort and healing, whether loved ones can still hear us in their final moments, and why some experiences at the end of life continue to challenge what we think we know about consciousness.

S2E37: Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor: What a Stroke Revealed About Consciousness | Talk Tracks08 Jul 202600:46:04

What happens when three-fourths of a neuroscientist’s brain goes offline, and what remains is not emptiness, but peace, connection, and love?

Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor is a Harvard-trained neuroanatomist who spent her life studying the brain, until a massive stroke made her the subject of her own life’s work. As the parts of her brain tied to language, identity, linear time, and the sense of being separate began to shut down, she entered an expansive state that would shape the next chapter of her work.

After eight years of rebuilding her brain, Dr. Bolte Taylor emerged with a new framework for understanding the brain and the self: four inner “characters” that influence how we think, feel, react, relate, and move through the world. In this episode of the Talk Tracks, Ky Dickens speaks with Dr. Bolte Taylor about what her stroke revealed, how Whole Brain Living can help us engage all four parts of ourselves, and how we can learn to choose who and how we want to be.

Together, they also explore emotional reactivity, inner peace, intuition, telepathy, energy healing, and the possibility that some forms of awareness may reflect capacities of the brain and consciousness that science is still learning how to understand.

S2E36: Soraya's Story Part Two | Talk Tracks01 Jul 202600:37:10

In part two of our conversation with Soraya and her parents, Tasha and Safi, the family shares the extraordinary spiritual experiences that emerged as Soraya's health declined.

After years of searching for answers about her rare and progressive condition, Soraya began speaking about angels, soul contracts, loved ones on the other side, and what she believes is her life’s mission: to teach her family about love. She describes late-night visits from spirits asking for healing and a profound family moment that changed their relationships forever.

The conversation also explores the tension between science and spirituality, the surprising openness they’ve found within hospice care, and the emotional reality of raising a child who speaks candidly about mortality while offering wisdom far beyond her years.

Finally, the family shares the recent discovery of Soraya's ultra-rare diagnosis of TAOK1 gene deletion and their hope that future research could not only change Soraya's life, but the lives of countless families affected by rare diseases.

S2E35: Soraya's Story Part One | Talk Tracks24 Jun 202600:43:18

When Soraya was born, her parents knew something wasn’t right. What followed was years of medical uncertainty, countless specialists, and a diagnosis that never came. But alongside Soraya's physical challenges emerged something equally extraordinary: vivid experiences with the non-physical world, messages from loved ones who had passed on, and moments her family still cannot explain.


In Part One of this special two-part conversation, Ky sits down with Soraya and her parents, Tasha and Safi, to explore their remarkable journey through disability, faith, and the possibility that consciousness extends far beyond what we can see.


Part Two premieres next Wednesday.

S2E34: We Are Here to Learn From | Talk Tracks17 Jun 202600:32:26

In this episode of The Talk Tracks, Ky sits down with Gavin Schultz and his mother, Cindy, to explore Gavin’s journey as a differently verbal autistic man who began spelling to communicate at age nine through RPM.

Before spelling, Cindy knew Gavin was bright, but she had no idea just how rich his inner world truly was. Through spelling, Gavin began sharing profound reflections on faith, intelligence, kindness, purpose, telepathy, and the spiritual gifts he says he experiences, including seeing angels, feeling people’s energy, and receiving teachings from theologians.

Gavin also answers listener-submitted questions from the Backstage Pass community, sharing his thoughts on telepathy, skepticism, testing, communication across disabilities, humanity’s purpose, and why he believes differently speaking people are here to teach the world about love, patience, and hope.

S2E33: Trapped Inside a Brilliant Mind | Talk Tracks10 Jun 202600:39:48

For decades, Dr. Robert Melillo has studied autism, brain development, and human cognition. In this conversation he shares his theories on why some non-speaking individuals may understand far more than they can physically express.


Drawing on neuroscience, developmental psychology, and years of clinical experience, Dr. Melillo explores the relationship between body awareness, motor control, communication, and intelligence. He discusses why speech may be inaccessible for some non-speakers despite intact language and comprehension, what individuals have told him about their experience of being disconnected from their bodies, and why he believes giftedness and disability can sometimes emerge from the same neurological roots.


Whether you agree with Dr. Melillo's theories or not, this episode invites listeners to reconsider long-held assumptions about autism, intelligence, and what it means to truly understand another mind.

S2E32: "Nice Mind Reading!" | Talk Tracks03 Jun 202600:44:50

For years, Betsy Flores searched for ways to better understand her daughter, Cianna. Along the way, she encountered moments that seemed impossible to explain - thoughts shared without words, uncanny knowing, and experiences that hinted at a deeper connection.

Joined by autism advocate Manisha Lad, Betsy reflects on the beginning of her daughter’s spelling journey and the hope it has brought to their family. Together they discuss telepathy, communication, presumed competence, and the patience required to help non-speaking individuals express their thoughts.

This is a conversation about trusting your child, letting go of expectations, and finding light when the path forward feels uncertain.

S2E31: Peter and Laura Kane: A nonspeaker answers your questions | Talk Tracks27 May 202600:39:11

In this episode of Talk Tracks, Ky Dickens sits down with Peter, a nonspeaker who communicates through spelling, and his mother, Laura, to ask Peter questions submitted by our Backstage Pass listeners and hear the story of how spelling transformed their family.

As Peter became an open speller, he began describing telepathy, “mind merging,” reading through his mother’s eyes, communication with other nonspeakers, spiritual encounters, and the mysterious plane many nonspeakers refer to as “the Hill.” Once told her son “wasn’t in there,” Laura describes the emotional journey of discovering Peter’s intelligence, humor, inner life, and extraordinary abilities and shares what it was like to move through disbelief, fear, awe, and acceptance as her understanding of her son and reality began to change.

S2E30: The Story That Chose Her | Talk Tracks20 May 202600:40:12

Animation producer and first-time director Pilar Flynn shares the extraordinary story of a creative download that arrived during a meditation retreat beneath ancient redwoods. The experience was so specific, that it told her to adapt a beloved story by literary icon Isabel Allende, assemble a Latino creative team, and pursue an Oscar campaign.

Pilar had never directed before, had no funding, and no obvious path forward. Yet one by one, impossible doors opened.

In this conversation, Pilar and Ky explore intuition, ancestral guidance, magical realism, fear, worthiness, and what happens when creativity feels less like something we own and more like something that chooses us.

S2E29: Unraveling Time Travel | Talk Tracks13 May 202600:30:22

Is time really linear or is consciousness capable of accessing information beyond the present moment?

In this episode of The Talk Tracks, Ky Dickens explores the growing scientific and experiential evidence surrounding precognition, remote viewing, and altered states of consciousness.

After hearing remarkable accounts from non-speakers who claim to “remote view through time,” Ky speaks with neuroscientist Julia Mossbridge and psychologist Mike Sapiro about presentiment research, psi phenomena, trauma, meditation, psychedelics, and therapeutic approaches that use imagined time travel to heal the nervous system.

S2E28: Dr. Mayim Bialik: Science, Skepticism and the Boundaries of Proof | Talk Tracks06 May 202601:03:24

In this episode of Talk Tracks, Ky Dickens sits down with neuroscientist, actor, and podcast host Dr. Mayim Bialik to explore the tension between science and skepticism.

With a PhD in neuroscience and a career shaped by both scientific rigor and cultural storytelling, Mayim has explored the questions on the edge of scientific understanding and that which can’t be quantified. From near-death experiences and spontaneous healing to telepathy, savant abilities, and the limits of measurement, she reflects on where the scientific method holds and where it begins to fall short.

As more people share experiences that don’t neatly fit into existing frameworks, this conversation asks: what counts as evidence? And is it possible to build a framework that allows both skepticism and wonder to coexist?

S2E27: Unlearning Our Fear of Death29 Apr 202600:30:54

In this episode of Talk Tracks, Ky Dickens sits down with Emmy Award–winning filmmaker Lynette Wallworth, whose near-death experience at age nine reshaped her understanding of reality, belonging, and what it means to die.

That experience set her on a lifelong journey that led her to Indigenous communities in the Brazilian Amazon, Mexico, and Australia, where death is not feared, but understood as part of an ongoing cycle of existence. Through these relationships, she began to question a core assumption of Western culture: is our fear of death inherent, or has it been learned?

Drawing from her upcoming documentary Edge of Life, Wallworth shares stories from psilocybin-assisted end-of-life trials, where patients facing terminal illness report vivid, often life-altering experiences that dissolve their fear of dying. These accounts of reunion, continuity, and peace mirror both ancient traditions and emerging scientific inquiry.

What if the greatest barrier to understanding death is not the unknown but what we’ve forgotten?

S2E26: Rewired through Neuroplasticity: The Brain's Ability to Heal | Talk Tracks22 Apr 202600:35:19

In this episode of Talk Tracks, Ky Dickens sits down with Mo Pritzker, whose life was upended by chronic illness, leaving her bedridden for years without answers from conventional medicine.

After being told there were no more options, Mo turned to neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to rewire itself. What followed was a profound shift: not just in her health, but in how she understood the relationship between the brain, the body, and healing.

Drawing from her personal recovery and her work today, Mo explores how the brain can become stuck in patterns of fear and hypervigilance, and how interrupting those patterns may begin to restore balance.

What if illness isn’t only happening in the body, but in the way the brain has learned to respond?

S2E25: What We See Before We Die | Talk Tracks15 Apr 202601:02:53

In this episode of Talk Tracks, Ky Dickens sits down with hospice physician and researcher Dr. Christopher Kerr, whose groundbreaking work has documented the vivid, often life-affirming dreams and visions reported by patients in their final days.

Drawing from studies involving over 1,500 patients, Dr. Kerr reveals a striking pattern: as death approaches, many individuals begin to experience deeply immersive encounters, often with loved ones who have passed. He explains that these are not fragmented dreams or signs of confusion, but coherent, meaningful experiences marked by clarity, emotional resolution, and a profound absence of fear.

What if the end of life is not defined by fear or loss, but by a return to the people, memories, and moments that shaped us most?

S2E24: The Inventor of the Microprocessor Questions Reality | Talk Tracks08 Apr 202600:33:23

This week’s guest, Federico Faggin, helped invent the microprocessor - the technology that powers the modern world. By every measure, he had achieved success. And yet he felt something was missing.

After a spontaneous and profound experience of consciousness, Federico began questioning everything he thought he knew about the nature of reality. What followed was a decades-long investigation into one of the biggest mysteries in science: not how the brain creates consciousness, but whether consciousness comes first.

In this episode, Federico shares his theory that we are not our bodies, but fields of consciousness having a human experience. He explores the role of free will, the limitations of neuroscience, and why quantum physics may be pointing us toward something far deeper.

We also dive into his encounters with non-speaking individuals with cerebral palsy who appear to communicate telepathically, and what their experiences might reveal about the true nature of connection.

S2E23: It’s Never Too Late | Talk Tracks01 Apr 202600:53:28

What if communication can open at any age?

In this episode of the Talk Tracks, Ky Dickens sits down with Betsy Hicks Russ and her son Joe, who began spelling in adulthood after decades of being underestimated. As communication opens, so does a new understanding of Joe’s inner life, his humor, his insight, his spirituality, and the depth of what he has long been aware of.

Together, they explore presuming competence, the emotional transformation that comes when someone is finally able to express themselves, and the mystery of connection that can emerge between nonspeakers and those closest to them. 

At the heart of this episode is Joe’s message to other families regarding spelling and opening up communication for nonspeakers: it is never too late.

S2E22: Signs from the Other Side | Talk Tracks25 Mar 202600:49:36

In this deeply moving episode, Ky sits down with writer Carla Kaufman Sloan, whose life changed forever after the sudden loss of her seven-year-old son, Calder.

With no prior belief in an afterlife, Carla found herself pulled into a world she never expected through an evidential medium, unmistakable signs, and moments of connection that challenged everything she thought she knew about death.

Together, they explore what “signs” from loved ones may look like, whether anyone can ask for them, the role of mediums in early grief, and how meaning and purpose can slowly emerge after unimaginable loss.


Carla also shares the extraordinary story of the sign she was promised, and the moment it arrived.

This conversation is both heartbreaking and deeply hopeful. It is a reflection on love, loss, and the possibility that connection doesn’t end.

S2E21: Elizabeth Gilbert on Letters from Love: Is love conscious and what does it want us to know? | Talk Tracks18 Mar 202600:42:27

What if love is not just something we feel, but a force that is actively working with us?

Previously, in Season 2 Episode 3 of The Telepathy Tapes, we explored the consciousness of creativity and asked whether ideas are alive and if they choose us. In this episode of the Talk Tracks, we explore the possibility that love may be more than an emotion, but an unseen intelligence, a living force that seeks to engage with us, responds to us, and perhaps even guides us. 

Bestselling author Elizabeth Gilbert (Eat, Pray, Love; Big Magic) joins Ky Dickens to discuss her decades-long practice, Letters from Love, a simple act that emerged from one of the darkest times in her life has since grown into a practice embraced by thousands. At its heart is a single question: Love, what would you have me know today?

Together, Ky and Liz explore the universal force of unconditional love, how to engage with it, and what it wants us to know.

This episode is an invitation to consider whether love is not just something we generate, but something we can enter into, a field of consciousness always available to us when we learn how to listen.

S2E20: Unlocking Ryan | Talk Tracks11 Mar 202600:40:15

For most of his life, Ryan was treated as if he couldn’t understand the world around him. Unable to speak reliably due to apraxia, he spent years in special education classrooms where his intelligence was not honored.

But his mother Mary always believed there was more inside.

At age 23, Ryan began communicating through spelling and everything changed. Finally the thoughts and insights that had been trapped inside him began to emerge: his deep spirituality, his love of music, and even experiences of shared consciousness and telepathy.

In this episode, Ryan and Mary share their remarkable journey from silence to communication, and Ryan reveals what life is really like for nonspeakers who have always been aware, listening, and waiting to be heard.

S2E19: A Non-Speaker and A Family Secret | Talk Tracks04 Mar 202600:35:06

In this episode of Talk Tracks, we travel to Rockville, Maryland, to meet the Statter family and their 24-year-old son, Ethan - a nonspeaker who began spelling his thoughts at age 18.

What started as a breakthrough in communication quickly became something much bigger.

Through letterboard spelling, Ethan revealed himself to be a poet and a deeply observant presence within his family. But he also began sharing experiences that challenged everything they thought they knew. He described telepathic exchanges, encounters with deceased relatives, a spiritual realm he calls “the plane,” and a near-death experience that profoundly altered his sense of purpose.

For years, the family kept these experiences private, unsure whether anyone else would understand. Then they discovered they were not alone.

In this conversation, Ethan’s parents and siblings reflect on diagnosis, doubt, belief, and the emotional reckoning that comes when a child you thought you knew begins to speak in ways you never imagined.

S2E18: When a Near-Death Experience Unlocks Hidden Genius Part Two | Talk Tracks25 Feb 202600:26:38

In part two of this two-part episode series of the Talk Tracks, we continue the exploration of near-death experiences with Tony Cicoria, an orthopedic surgeon whose life changed after surviving a lightning strike in 1994. Tony describes leaving his physical body, witnessing his own resuscitation, and entering a realm of profound peace, unity, and unconditional love that felt more real than ordinary waking life. When he returned, he began experiencing an unexpected and overwhelming connection to music, with fully formed melodies arriving in his mind despite having no musical background. He shares how this sudden creative awakening emerged directly from his near-death experience and went on to reshape his identity, purpose, and understanding of consciousness. Together, the conversation explores how near-death experiences can radically alter perception, unlock latent abilities, and challenge what we believe about creativity, consciousness, and life beyond the body.

In part one of this two part episode series of Talk Tracks, we hear the extraordinary near-death experience of David Ditchfield, who survived a devastating train accident that should have been fatal. David describes leaving his injured body behind and entering a realm of healing light, guiding beings, and overwhelming unconditional love that felt more real than physical life. When he returned, he discovered he had become an accidental savant, awakening an innate ability to paint complex, detailed scenes of what he experienced on the other side despite having no formal artistic background. He shares how this sudden creative intelligence emerged as a direct result of his NDE and became central to his recovery and sense of purpose. Together, the conversation explores how near-death experiences can radically alter consciousness, unlock hidden capacities, and reshape how we understand creativity, identity, and survival beyond the body.

S2E11: Mindsight: Seeing Without Eyes29 Dec 202501:15:12

In this finale to Season 2, we explore the phenomenon of “mind sight” - the ability some children and adults claim to develop that allows them to see while blindfolded, and in rare cases, even while blind. From a rural school in England to training programs in India and China, we meet teachers, skeptics, neuroscientists, and families who’ve witnessed the unexplainable ability that often leads to intuition beyond our comprehension. As always, we question what’s real, what’s possible, and whether consciousness might be more powerful and perceptive than we’ve ever imagined.

S2E10: Cognitive Decline and Higher Consciousness22 Dec 202501:01:25

When memory fades and language falls silent, we assume connection is lost. But what if it isn’t?

In this episode, we explore whether telepathy might offer a bridge to those living with Alzheimer’s and dementia. The journey begins with Rebecca, a close friend from Season 1, whose father’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis collides unexpectedly with the earliest telepathy experiments that launched The Telepathy Tapes.

As caregivers and families reach out with similar stories, we follow Rebecca into a deeply personal experience with Dan Goerke, a man who communicates with people’s “higher self” of people who can no longer speak. What unfolds raises unsettling and tender questions about awareness, regret, forgiveness, and the possibility that something essential remains intact even as cognition declines.

We then widen the lens, turning to physicians and researchers studying end-of-life consciousness, including hospice data showing that visions, communication beyond language, and profound peace are not rare—but incredibly common. These accounts challenge a core assumption: that a failing brain means diminished consciousness, rather than a thinning of our mind’s filter.

Across these stories, an idea emerges. That dementia may not represent disappearance, but transition. That those we fear we are losing may still be present—listening, understanding, and connecting in ways we don’t yet know how to measure.

This episode asks us to reconsider what it means to be “gone,” and whether communication—like love—might persist even when words do not.
