Rivers of the Mind is a combination of an Audio Book and audio play released as a Podcast. The show begins by following a homeless geologist named John Silvers who takes LSD under a hole in the universe created by a secret government laboratory in the Texas Hill Country disguised as a water treatment facility, which causes him to gain Psychic Powers, including Telepathy, and Astral Projection. John tries to use his powers to help people, including an elderly rancher named Gerry and a cashier at the local Walmart named Meagan. His efforts to do so do not always succeed. His impulsive Memory Wipe of a police officer named Phillip convinces the officer that he was Alien Abduction abducted by aliens. He attempts to rehabilitate Gerry's socipathic son Mick and sets off a chain of events that leave him imprisoned in his own mind by a mysterious time traveler named Ryan. Season 2 introduces a character named Meagan Cortez, who receives the gift of language from a field of psychedelic mushrooms; she must fight to free John from the time traveler before Ryan can use John's powers to Take Over the World. Season 1.5 and 2.5 follow Simultaneous Arcs wherein Phillip, his partner Grace, and an troubled internet conspiracy theorist as they investigate what they believe to be alien activity in their town; this is fueled, unbeknownst to them, by Ryan.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })

Elemental Powers

Elemental Powers: Downplayed, but the powers are still structured in this way. John can control the element of "consciousness", while Meagan can control language, Ryan the element of time, and Dr. Whitebalm the element of radiation.

Early Installment Weirdness: The first four episodes suffer from uneven production quality, and the first season is written more as an audiobook than an audio drama given all the narration.

Eldritch Abomination: The Tobacco being Tcinti introduced in Season 2 fits this description, as do the "White Flowers" that attack John, and the field of psychedelic mushrooms.

Contemplate Our Navels: The early episodes lean heavily on monologues and soliloquies that focus on the characters internal emotional state to tell the story.

Drugs Are Good: Zigzagged, since most of the drugs encountered by John and Meagan are personified, but they both still receive superpowers either directly or indirectly through drugs.
