Masters of Ceremony
Masters of Ceremony is a podcast led by artist and ceremonialist, Andrew Askaripour. MoC’s aim is to merge the worlds of Andrew's passions of Spirituality, Hip-Hop, Photography/Film, Sacred Plant Medicines, and the beauty of ceremony in order to educate, inspire, and strengthen others.
Born of Jamaican and Iranian descent, Andrew humbly walks a path of service in order to honor and give thanks to his ancestors and elders for helping guide him towards rediscovering these ancient and universal forms in which all communities gather, heal, and grow together. Apprenticing for many years with initiated teachers and elders of several traditions has provided Andrew with an immense respect and understanding of the responsibility of what it is to carry and share these sacred teachings with the upmost reverence and integrity.
From his years involved within the New York Hip-Hop scene, to studying with various wise medicine men and women of Central and South America, Andrew has gained a distinct outlook on life that allows him to connect with the hearts, minds, and spirits of his fascinating guests, who are each on the way to becoming true masters of their crafts. Through sitting down with these remarkable individuals, and sharing insights from his own journey, Andrew invites you onto his journey of learning, exploration, and growth.
Welcome to Masters of Ceremony.

Carlos Pussetto on Being Kidnapped During Argentina's "Dirty War", Sacred Teachings of the Ancient Americas & Red Road, Healing through Poetry, Art, and Percussion | MOC#13
Over the course of his life Carlos Pussetto has had an immensely transformative and inspiring journey. Carlos studied psychology and sociology at the National University of Humanities in Argentina and was active in the resistance movement against the then military dictatorship. In 1976 Carlos was kidnapped by the army and placed into La Perla concentration camp until 1979, enduring years of torture and unjust imprisonment. Being one of the only survivors of this concentration camp, Carlos eventually escaped to Brazil, and ultimately to Sweden as a political refugee with the help of the United Nations.
In Sweden, Carlos began his journey back to life and found healing through art, music, poetry, dance, percussion and theatre and eventually became a teacher of these modalities to hundreds of people throughout Europe. In the early 1990s, Carlos was introduced to the teachings of the Camino Rojo, Sacred Fire, and Tolteca traditions of the Ancient Americas. For over 30 years Carlos has been following and sharing these teachings and has completed the cycles of Vision Quests and The Sun Dance, and has participated as a runner in the Intercontinental Journey of Peace and Dignity Prayer of 2000.
Through decades of study, direct experience, and guidance of various teachers, Carlos has decided to dedicate his life to the betterment of Mother Earth, to the path of the Heart, and to the elements and cosmos, with the intention of restoring balance within himself and to help others along the way to find a path to their own healing. Currently living in Spain, Carlos offers temazcals, vision quests, and other sacred ceremonies on his land and all throughout Europe in the hopes of allowing others an opportunity to reconnect to themselves in a pure and honest way.
