Ep. 12: No Trouble At All
Manage episode 509975904 series 3683477
What happens when reverence turns to curiosity, and curiosity turns to spectacle? In our last episode, we witnessed the unraveling of Huautla's sacred silence: from Gordon and Valentina's respectful early visits to the post–Life magazine flood of seekers, smugglers, and spies, as the psychedelic tide rolled in.
In this episode, secrets swim in plain sight—some in fish tanks, some in field notes, and some in the fractured mind of a combat medic who's running out of rope. Gordon Wasson never meant to open the door. But once opened, it was the CIA who walked through. And now, as Lidiya unspools the truth, Chris is slipping toward a dark familiar edge of his own.
