Psicoactivo Podcast
A journalist's daily deep-dive into the world of UAP/UFO disclosure, analyzing recent events and hosting roundtable discussions with other community figures.
A high-cadence commentary show tracking the politics, personalities, and key events of the modern UAP disclosure movement. The host, Pavel Ibarra, acts as a journalist and aggregator, reacting to recent developments, playing clips from hearings or other podcasts, and providing his analysis. The show's format is a hybrid of solo-hosted news analysis and regular roundtable discussions with a recurring group of fellow UFO podcast creators.
“Its near-daily production schedule sets it apart, offering immediate reactions to news that other shows might cover weekly. The format blends a solo journalistic digest with collaborative, cross-podcast roundtable discussions, making it a central node in a specific network of UAP content creators.”
Who hosts this show
Psicoactivo is a bilingual podcast hosted by journalist Pavel Ibarra Meda from Tijuana, Mexico. Initially focused on consciousness and human potential, the show pivoted to Ufology after Ibarra's interest was piqued by the topic. The podcast now primarily offers daily analysis of news and events within the UFO/UAP disclosure community, often featuring commentary on clips from other sources and hosting collaborative discussions.

What you'll be asked on this show
The show's interview format is primarily a multi-person roundtable discussion, not a traditional one-on-one. As a moderator in these 'Night Shift' segments, Pavel directs specific questions to participants to gather their unique perspectives on a central topic, such as a recent event like the 'Disclosure Forum'. The conversation is informal, allowing for crosstalk, debate, and humor among the recurring group of creators. He doesn't employ a standard set of recurring questions, but rather facilitates a timely, event-driven conversation.
The primary format is solo commentary by host Pavel Ibarra, who analyzes recent news and video clips. The show also features a regular roundtable discussion segment called "The Night Shift" or "Doomer Friday," which has its own distinct synth-heavy intro and brings together a recurring cast of co-hosts and guests for a more informal chat. Pavel often closes episodes with the catchphrase, "Remember, stay curious and inquisitive... always. Bye."
