The Telepathy Tapes

In this deeply moving episode, Ky sits down with writer Carla Kaufman Sloan, whose life changed forever after the sudden loss of her seven-year-old son, Calder.
With no prior belief in an afterlife, Carla found herself pulled into a world she never expected through an evidential medium, unmistakable signs, and moments of connection that challenged everything she thought she knew about death.
Together, they explore what “signs” from loved ones may look like, whether anyone can ask for them, the role of mediums in early grief, and how meaning and purpose can slowly emerge after unimaginable loss.

Carla also shares the extraordinary story of the sign she was promised, and the moment it arrived.
This conversation is both heartbreaking and deeply hopeful. It is a reflection on love, loss, and the possibility that connection doesn’t end.

What if love is not just something we feel, but a force that is actively working with us?
Previously, in Season 2 Episode 3 of The Telepathy Tapes, we explored the consciousness of creativity and asked whether ideas are alive and if they choose us. In this episode of the Talk Tracks, we explore the possibility that love may be more than an emotion, but an unseen intelligence, a living force that seeks to engage with us, responds to us, and perhaps even guides us.
Bestselling author Elizabeth Gilbert (Eat, Pray, Love; Big Magic) joins Ky Dickens to discuss her decades-long practice, Letters from Love, a simple act that emerged from one of the darkest times in her life has since grown into a practice embraced by thousands. At its heart is a single question: Love, what would you have me know today?
Together, Ky and Liz explore the universal force of unconditional love, how to engage with it, and what it wants us to know.
This episode is an invitation to consider whether love is not just something we generate, but something we can enter into, a field of consciousness always available to us when we learn how to listen.

For most of his life, Ryan was treated as if he couldn’t understand the world around him. Unable to speak reliably due to apraxia, he spent years in special education classrooms where his intelligence was not honored.
But his mother Mary always believed there was more inside.
At age 23, Ryan began communicating through spelling and everything changed. Finally the thoughts and insights that had been trapped inside him began to emerge: his deep spirituality, his love of music, and even experiences of shared consciousness and telepathy.
In this episode, Ryan and Mary share their remarkable journey from silence to communication, and Ryan reveals what life is really like for nonspeakers who have always been aware, listening, and waiting to be heard.

In this episode of Talk Tracks, we travel to Rockville, Maryland, to meet the Statter family and their 24-year-old son, Ethan - a nonspeaker who began spelling his thoughts at age 18.
What started as a breakthrough in communication quickly became something much bigger.
Through letterboard spelling, Ethan revealed himself to be a poet and a deeply observant presence within his family. But he also began sharing experiences that challenged everything they thought they knew. He described telepathic exchanges, encounters with deceased relatives, a spiritual realm he calls “the plane,” and a near-death experience that profoundly altered his sense of purpose.
For years, the family kept these experiences private, unsure whether anyone else would understand. Then they discovered they were not alone.
In this conversation, Ethan’s parents and siblings reflect on diagnosis, doubt, belief, and the emotional reckoning that comes when a child you thought you knew begins to speak in ways you never imagined.

In part two of this two-part episode series of the Talk Tracks, we continue the exploration of near-death experiences with Tony Cicoria, an orthopedic surgeon whose life changed after surviving a lightning strike in 1994. Tony describes leaving his physical body, witnessing his own resuscitation, and entering a realm of profound peace, unity, and unconditional love that felt more real than ordinary waking life. When he returned, he began experiencing an unexpected and overwhelming connection to music, with fully formed melodies arriving in his mind despite having no musical background. He shares how this sudden creative awakening emerged directly from his near-death experience and went on to reshape his identity, purpose, and understanding of consciousness. Together, the conversation explores how near-death experiences can radically alter perception, unlock latent abilities, and challenge what we believe about creativity, consciousness, and life beyond the body.
