It was our pleasure to interview T. Mike Walker and mathematician Dr. Ralph Abraham for this show, pioneers of the 1960’s counterculture, and editors of the new book, Hip Santa Cruz 6. The latest in a series of magical tales from the early days of hip culture in Santa Cruz, this volume explores the start of Rock & Roll, the first organic gardens, Huey P. Newton’s USCS Dissertation, and ‘mind-blowing truths.’ For our show, Ralph relates a telepathic story of swimming with John Lilly’s dolphins, and what they had to say to him. And if you want to see the folks who wrote all these stories, be sure to check out live readings from the latest volume at the Santa Cruz Art League, 526 Broadway, Santa Cruz, CA Saturday afternoon, April 8, 2023, 3-5 p.m.
Lots to share this week, from Space News to AR glasses and bio-printed Wagyu beef, enjoy!
