Author: Duncan Trussell Family Hour April 9, 2017 Duration: 2:30:11

Duncan talks about the return of his depression and is joined by comedian and Psychonaut Adam Strauss who bravely shares the tale of his recent journey to Peru to drink of the vine of the little death, Ayahuasca.


You’re invited into a space where laughter and deep inquiry aren’t mutually exclusive. The Duncan Trussell Family Hour unfolds as a series of long-form, meandering conversations that feel more like late-night talks with old friends than formal interviews. Hosted by comedian Duncan Trussell, this podcast regularly ventures into territories many shows avoid, weaving together stand-up comedy’s irreverence with sincere explorations of spirituality, philosophy, and the quirks of modern culture. Episodes often feature a diverse range of guests-from fellow comedians and artists to philosophers, spiritual teachers, and even the occasional psychedelic researcher-all contributing to a unique dialogue that is by turns profoundly thoughtful and absurdly funny. What you’ll hear is a genuine curiosity about the human experience, where discussions about meditation or the nature of consciousness might be punctuated by a ridiculous bit or a personal story from Duncan’s own life. It’s this unpredictable blend that defines the experience, creating a sense of community for anyone who finds humor in existential dread or wisdom in unexpected places. The result is a consistently surprising audio journey that challenges conventional categories, making each episode a unique exploration of what it means to be alive, confused, and occasionally enlightened, all while laughing at the sheer strangeness of it all.
