from Dreamland: The Edge of the World · host Whitley Strieber

In this absolute stunner of a show Whitley interviews Elvis expert Miguel Conner about Elvis as a brilliant, deeply informed and powerful master of the occult.

This most popular of singer and a true cultural revolutionary was not only a good and generous man, he was also a well read and deeply informed esotericist, in search of his own meaning. Tormented both by the isolation his celebrity brought him and his longing to reunite with his twin who had died in childbirth, he gradually drifted into heavy drug use and his tragic death at the age of just 42.
