Thanks for bumping this, David! This must be Danny's first interview with Dr. Peat. Brilliant introduction to Dr. Peat's work. Pure GOLD!

Danny is the best interviewer for Dr. Peat. Danny lets him talk w/o interrupting him.

“Since the contextuality of communication is always in the foreground when I talk or write, you know that someone is confusing me with an authority when they talk about my ‘protocol’ for something. Context is everything, and it’s individual and empirical.” —Raymond Peat, PhD
