Music is both art form and tool. It can be abused in the same way as food, sex, or alcohol. How music can hijack the brain, how fandom slips into idol worship, and how artists like Springsteen and McCartney use or don’t use their influence to shape beliefs and politics. Music can shift from communication to manipulation. Cape Cod’s weird “mutant” jellyfish that only sting locals. Dr. Bronner’s psychedelic-tinged gender-bending CEO. Does the long-lost Gospel of Thomas belong in the Bible? The controversial “saying” about Mary Magdalen becoming male and what it might really mean. Ep. 0040
