The Craziest Therapist Alive: 77 y/o Techno DJ Rob Bennett on Apartheid, Psychedelics and Death

Rob Bennett might be the wildest therapist alive.He’s 77 years old, works as a psychedelic therapist – and plays dark techno at one of Berlin’s most iconic clubs. But his story starts decades earlier in apartheid South Africa.In this conversation we go all the way back: Rob growing up as a white kid under a racist regime, secretly supporting the ANC, losing friends to state violence and eventually having to flee the country. We talk about L$D in London, hash in Goa, meditation in Indian ashrams, studying psychology in Wales and landing in Berlin in the midst of the Cold War – just in time to dance through the fall of the Wall and into the techno underground.This is not “another podcast”. It’s a brutally honest look at a life shaped by racism, grief, psychedelics, love, music and the constant question: How do you stay human in a fvcked-up world?This is the YNB Podcast – real conversations with extraordinary humans. No script, no superficial bs. Just unfiltered Truth.
