Ky Dickens: The Telepathy Tapes and What Lies Beyond

The Sounds True Podcast Network. Sometimes like I think with a story it hits you like a lightning bolt, you know, just like falling in love might. And so I ended up um thinking, this is whatever it is, there's something here and this is what I should be doing next. I started really developing my own relationship with these families, collecting their stories and seeing that their stories, even though they didn't know each other and were often isolated around the world were the same.

Hello friends, welcome in this episode of Insights at the Edge. I'm really excited to be speaking with Kai Dickens. Kai is an award-winning filmmaker, a writer and director who is celebrated for creating transformative documentaries that influence public policy and ignite social change. Kai, you're someone I really admire.

In 2024, Kai created the Telepathy Tapes, exploring telepathy within the non-speaking community. It's a podcast that has raised profound questions about the nature of consciousness, also about language and about how we can best support the non-speaking community. The series went viral and in 2025 it was ranked as the number one podcast in the world. Season two is now available and Kai is releasing, you guessed it, a film. about the telepathy tapes coming out later this year.
