This weeks guest, R U Sirius, is a cyber-culture icon and former editor of the amazing Mondo 2000 magazine. He’s has written regular columns for Wired Magazine and the San Francisco Examiner. Sirius is also a fellow podcaster, with his semi-regular shows ‘The R U Sirius Show’ and ‘The Neo Files’. He has contributed to the public discourse of emerging cyber-cultures extensively as well as authoring several books on topics like Counterculture and Revolution. We talk to RU about Counterculture, virtual reality, Timothy leary, Robert Anton Wilson, Comic Books…and Paul takes AGES to, boringly, ask a pretty simple question…*sigh*…enjoy.

Featured song this week is Chop Shop by Craw
