Wade Davis
The Serpent and the Rainbow
Wade Davis is an anthropologist, botanical explorer, and best-selling author who received his Ph.D. in ethnobotany from Harvard University. He spent more than three years in the Amazon and Andes as a plant explorer, living among 15 indigenous groups in eight Latin American nations while making some 6,000 botanical collections. Wade is the author of The Serpent and the Rainbow as well as many other books and is an explorer in residence with National Geographic.
This is the first WOTU show that J. Scott was not hosting; filling in for him was Dee Clements and Chuck Browder. An exceptional interview other than the lack of J. Scott's Christian conservative views.
Wade talks about being inducted into the secret societies and even lighting himself on fire! You don't want to miss this one!
