POD 137: Two years in an underground MDMA lab, a conversation with MethylMan
Added 2025-12-19 17:19:52 +0000 UTCIn this episode I sit down with a self-taught legend of underground MDMA synthesis and former Hive member named MethylMan. We discuss Wacker oxidation, reductive amination, aluminum amalgamation and the joys and dangers of underground chemistry.

I love how these interviews craft its own story. Especially with these people who were all in the bay area, I bet so many of these people you've interviewed had friendships and relationships with each other. Can kinda figure out a story with all of this. It's amazing.
