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.
