Psychedelic Women

Rainbow Valentine

Booking Overview

An interview-led oral-history show focused on women, families, and firsthand participants connected to San Francisco’s 1960s psychedelic counterculture, with recurring guests drawn from the movement’s insiders, descendants, and associated artists. Credible pitches include counterculture historians, memoirists, psychedelic-culture researchers, musicians, artists, and people with direct family or personal ties to the era; booking difficulty is low because the show favors niche, experience-based guests over major public figures.
