Ky Dickens: The Telepathy Tapes and What Lies Beyond

What happens when a rational, skeptical filmmaker encounters evidence that consciousness might work in ways science hasn’t yet explained?

This week, Tami Simon welcomes Ky Dickens—an award-winning documentary filmmaker whose podcast The Telepathy Tapes became the #1 podcast in the world in 2025. Ky’s work explores telepathic communication within the non-speaking community, raising profound questions about consciousness, human potential, and how we can better support individuals with autism and apraxia.

Join Tami and Ky as they discuss:

  • How a lightning bolt creative moment led to The Telepathy Tapes and what it means to trust the creative muse
  • The scientific evidence for telepathic communication in non-speaking individuals with autism
  • “Mindsight”—the remarkable ability of young children to see through blindfolds, and why this capacity appears strongest before age twelve
  • The interstitium, a recently discovered system in the body that may explain ancient knowledge about energy meridians
  • Why consciousness as fundamental, rather than materialism, better explains emerging research in telepathy, energy healing, and remote viewing
  • The dignity and rights of non-speaking individuals and why Communication Regulation Partners (CRPs) should be standard in schools
  • How this work has transformed Ky’s understanding of death, the non-physical world, and why we’re here

If you’ve been curious about The Telepathy Tapes or wonder what lies at the frontiers of consciousness research, this conversation offers a grounded, scientifically minded exploration of phenomena that challenge our understanding of human potential and invite us into a more marvelous world.

Listen now to discover what becomes possible when we approach the unknown with curiosity rather than dismissal. And to see where Ky and her team are heading with Season 2 of The Telepathy Tapes…and beyond.

You can listen to both seasons of The Telepathy Tapes here.

Lee Harris: Be a Future Human and Find the New

What if the ability to channel wisdom and connect with higher guidance isn’t reserved for a select few, but accessible to anyone willing to open their heart?

This week, Tami Simon welcomes Lee Harris, a globally acclaimed energy intuitive, musician, and channeler of a group of intelligences called the Zs. Lee reaches over 1 million people monthly through his vibrant online community, The Portal, and is the author of The Future Human (with Regina Meredith) and the Conversations with the Zs series. In this profound exchange, Lee shares his journey from hearing his guides for the first time on a London subway at age 23 to becoming one of the most trusted voices in contemporary channeling.

Join Tami and Lee to explore:

  • How channeling works and why it’s becoming more accessible to everyday seekers
  • Practical techniques for connecting with your own guides through automatic writing and intuitive practice
  • The distinction between thinking and knowing—and why heart intelligence surpasses mental intelligence
  • Why the “flexible heart” is essential for healing trauma and moving through life’s challenges
  • How to ask for help from angels and guides in simple, powerful ways
  • The role of love as currency in humanity’s next evolutionary phase
  • Why we often fear the very love we claim to seek
  • How to serve love in daily life and contribute to raising Earth’s frequency midpoint
  • Plus: A direct channeling from the Zs with guidance for navigating these transformative times

If you’re ready to deepen your connection to intuitive wisdom, open your heart more fully, and understand your role in humanity’s shift toward love-based consciousness, this conversation offers both inspiration and practical pathways forward.

Listen now to discover how heart intelligence and channeled wisdom can transform your life and our world.

Cyndi Dale: Becoming Your Own Best Ancestor

On the surface, it appears as though the lives we live proceed forward moment by moment in a strictly linear way. Could it be we’ve got it all wrong? Renowned energy healer and teacher Cyndi Dale offers a wildly different perspective on our human journey—a paradigm-shattering cosmology where our current, past, parallel, and future selves coexist in realms beyond the grasp of the rational mind. In her book Transforming the Legacy, Cyndi helps readers create a partnership with these energetic aspects of ourselves to identify and heal soul-based and lineage-ancestry issues. 

In this podcast, Tami Simon speaks with Cyndi about Transforming the Legacy and a broad swath of fascinating topics including: past lives and reincarnation; quantum physics and how our past, present, and future lives coexist; our two neurological systems: the (linear) digital and the (timeless) analog; the phenomenon of loop quantum gravity and how our parallel lives unfold in connection and concurrently; healing the past for empowerment here and now; the 12-chakra model; the ancestral energies we receive pre-conception; soul-level agreements we choose prior to incarnating; changing the “program” to change the person; finding your “God spot,” or your connection to divine intelligence within; combining intuition with somatic practice on the path of healing and growth; applying subtle energy work to resolve money issues; the “wild tornadoes” metaphor for the chakras; spiritual light; overcoming our psychological discomfort around making difficult changes; addressing illness and disease on both the physical and subtle levels; the practice of becoming your own good ancestor; and more.
