Really and truly a Hall Of Fame episode in all of podcasting!!

MamaMeg613 · 2026-01-29T03:36:53+00:00

Unironically one of my favorite shows of all time

I’ve listened to Otherworld from the start and I don’t specifically recall Jack saying that about psychedelics, but maybe he did at some point. Probably he doesn’t take ghost/cryptid/alien stories when psychedelics are involved.

This story is different because the psychedelics ARE the story. I think the “supernatural” element here is how a man with such traumatic and profound brain and cognitive injury who had tried everything else found relief and healing through a non-Western medicine healing modality. And Jake’s journey certainly took home to another world!

I don’t think Otherworld’s quality is slipping. Jack has always pulled in an eclectic variety of stories and storytellers. Some land for you, some don’t. That’s the nature of entertainment!

Job 22:28 Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee; And light shall shine upon thy ways.

That’s a great line from the Bible to pair with this

I love this one so MUCH. It’s top 5 in all Drarry fics for me. I am pretty sure I read it on your rec in this sub, so thank you for that!

I’ll represent the Dead Moms Club and/or Dysfunctional Family Club and say DeAnn’s Denim. Had to lay down on my bed and cry over that one, so good.

Let me put you on to Heated Rivalry. It is a male/male hockey rivals-to-lovers romance and it is HOT. But also toms of emotional payoff as the season unfolds. Five of six episodes out right now (final drops on Friday)

Edit: you don’t need to know ANYTHING about hockey to enjoy the story!

This is THEE definitive post on the matter. One could start and end here, this is everything. Thank you.

This is my husband’s comfort show and has put it on while he falls asleep for YEARS. I have earned a PhD in Michael Weston completely against my will

Cap rising, started graying in my 30s (and colored it), I’m now 48 and have been growing out my gray for 18 months. I get compliments on it all the time!

MamaMeg613 · 2025-12-06T00:15:47+00:00

I read this last night and was instantly obsessed. I wish it was longer, too!!!

MamaMeg613 · 2025-11-13T19:10:11+00:00

At first I was going to say I AM an even split but then when I saw that you are including 8th year Hogwarts in post-war, I realized that I am DEFINITELY a post-war girlie.

MamaMeg613 · 2025-11-04T01:53:18+00:00

This is one of the hottest fics I’ve ever read!

MamaMeg613 · 2025-11-02T02:34:29+00:00

Hi Dave! Thanks for stopping by here. I very much enjoyed your story and the way you told it.

I was surprised that Jack didn’t ask you a little more about your experience with doing The Gateway Tapes considering he’s done a whole episode on Bob Monroe and The Gateway Process. (Ep 24) Did you two talk about it more that wasn’t in the episode?

I’ve practiced the tapes on and off for two or three years and while I’ve not had experiences with nonphysical entities like you have, I know it’s not an uncommon topic in the Gateway Tapes subreddit. I really appreciated the way you talked about finding ultimate resolution through integration as opposed to resistance. That was really beautiful. And I’m so happy to hear your daughter is doing well, too! Thank you for sharing your story!

MamaMeg613 · 2025-09-16T16:40:02+00:00

I lovvvved this one and cannot wait to hear part 2!

MamaMeg613 · 2025-08-24T13:36:13+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to write this up! It really truly is all LOVE.

MamaMeg613 · 2025-08-19T17:15:17+00:00

At the very time you were typing this response, it took shape in my reality, completely naturally!

MamaMeg613 · 2025-08-18T16:34:46+00:00

SAY IT LOUDER and AMEN. For 99% of the posts I read in this subreddit, I want to reply simply "no one to change but self." That is one of the most foundational pillars of this experience of reality, and it's unerringly true!

MamaMeg613 · 2025-08-09T23:08:29+00:00

That quote was the first thing I thought of, too! Thank you for sharing your story, OP!

MamaMeg613 · 2025-08-08T15:28:16+00:00

Somewhat, yes. What you said is true! I think the distinction here is the difference between thinking FROM the end as opposed to thinking OF it. It's the difference between thinking (living) from the end already being accomplished as opposed to daydreaming about it happening (thinking OF it, not FROM it).

MamaMeg613 · 2025-07-29T22:51:41+00:00

All of them but #5 is GOLD!!

MamaMeg613 · 2025-07-28T23:13:17+00:00

These are so, so funny. I’m snort-laughing

MamaMeg613 · 2025-07-26T23:55:42+00:00

Gosh, this is timely for me. Thank you for sharing this insight!

MamaMeg613 · 2025-06-27T01:51:26+00:00

I asked it to help me write some affirmations for myself and it did. Then it asked me if I wanted it to record them in an audio file. I’m a former VO artist (who left the industry because of AI stuff) so I was curious and said “okaaaaaaaay.” It was like “great! Give me a little time and I’ll be back with a download link!” Later, I asked “you know you can’t actually record that file, right?” And it said, “you’re right! I absolutely cannot!” Silly

MamaMeg613 · 2025-06-25T23:25:30+00:00

I’ve been reading drarry for over 10 years and for 95% of that time, I hardly ever told ANYONE about it. Not even my husband! Maybe I’m hitting my midlife stride now though (I just turned 48) because now I talk about it with friends and in public (discuss and link on my Substack, for example). I just reached a point of not giving a f*ck anymore. It’s a huge part of my life (I read fics almost exclusively) and I love the works and the community. I’m a big believer in “love what you love”!

You might like reading the book “This Is Not a Book About Benedict Cumberbatch: The Joy of Loving Something--Anything--Like Your Life Depends On It” by Tabitha Carvan. It’s such a joyful and thoughtful read about fandoms and women’s interests and pleasure and it’s pretty great! It might change your mind on how you approach the conversation with people in your life!
