The Melt Podcast Chris Snipes The Melt is a podcast that incapsulates all of the experiences that fall outside of the spectrum of consensus reality. Whether these be drug experiences, paranormal experiences, or religious experiences. The Melt values the lost importance of first hand experience. Not everything can be quantified, measured, or repeated in a laboratory. Some things only happen in a spontaneous and immediate fashion and are not subject to repetition on demand. There is a vast expanse of phenomena that Western society and it’s institutions don’t see as valuable or worthy of exploration. The Melt does. The Melt wants to hear your stories and wants to tell your stories. The Melt seeks to not only be a place within which to do that but also where we will talk to other experiencers, people who study these experiences, and people write about these experiences.
