Mormons on Mushrooms
Mormons on Mushrooms is a storytelling podcast hosted by Mike and Doug, where we explore alternative methods for healing and living a fulfilling life—especially in the aftermath of losing faith, certainty, or identity.
We cover a wide range of topics, from music, mythology, and pop culture to spirituality, psychology, psychedelics, and all of the magic and mystery that life has to offer.
