00:00 Here we go, another episode of one of the last remaining sponsor-free and fully independent podcasts left. And it's getting harder to stand my ground but I don't want to wonder will the ad agency drop me if i get into this topic or maybe I should just do something a bit more tame? The subscriber model keeps me from having to ask those questions and we can truly do our own thing without outside influences So it's $8 a month for five two-hour shows a month and an archive that goes back to 2010. If you like how the free first hour goes, well usually interviews get even more interesting when I get more time with all these great guests!
00:38 We also have a community forum for members, a lively comment section, a rating system so I can see what Plus Members like best and a few other perks at thehiresidechats.com But if you don't want to use the website we give you a custom RSS feed URL in your welcome email that works on all of our major podcasting apps without the need for an annoying username & password process just copy and paste the url in your favorite app and you're done And even if you want to listen to Plus on Spotify, you can. Just sign up through Patreon rather than my own system and then you have that option. Both mobile-friendly links are right there at the top of the show notes
01:17 I don't think i'm alone in thinking it's just a bit sad how everything must be propped up by ads and overarching corporate platforms. I mean, YouTubers are now bleeping out some really basic words out of fear of demonetization And how would you even begin to measure the self-censorship that goes on out there? So let's just do it different and give you twice as much to listen to. Join Plus, and I'll keep bringing you the best two-hour interviews on a wide range of weird, controversial, taboo alternative topics with the best guests I can get! But until you do here is another free first hour interview on The House. Enjoy
01:57 The planet's puppet masters almost surely have a plan. There is clearly maybe something there beyond the realm of man, and until we've thoroughly tested every last close-chested view I find the more we think we know the less we really do do. Where would we be without THC? Because we know they're lying to us, just don't know to what degree. Where would we be without THC? The Higher Side Chat Show Greg Carlwood & Company
