Filling in for Art Bell, Ian Punnett welcomed one of the leading voices in today's counterculture, Daniel Pinchbeck, who discussed ideas from his latest book, 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl as well as his personal experiences with psychedelic "medicines."

Daniel Pinchbeck is the author of "Breaking Open the Head: A Psychedelic Journey into the Heart of Contemporary Shamanism" and is a regular columnist for Arthur Magazine. He is currently completing a second book, "2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl," on indigenous prophecies and consciousness transformation, to be released next spring. His feature articles have appeared in The New York Times Magazine, Esquire, Wired, The Village Voice, and numerous other publications. A founding editor of Open City, a literary journal, he is currently launching a new magazine and Internet forum, Metacine: A Magazine for the New Edge (www.metacine.net), offering a new paradigm for a planetary culture.
