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.

Dream It Better (#213)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, we cover everything from Trump’s compulsive lying and the Mormon Church’s complicity in capitalist power structures, to Bel-Air acid trips, murder kinks in scripture, and Jesus maybe being a little gayer than we were taught. We draw parallels between culty MAGA thinking and Mormonism, laugh about being perceived as “different than we imagined,” and land in the deep mystery of belief — how none of us knows what the hell is going on, and that’s kind of the point.
There’s also a closet recording setup, some time-traveling intimacy with our listeners, and a lot of “wtf even is hydrogen?”
As always, we don’t claim to know anything for sure, but we’re here dreaming with you. Maybe if we realize we’re dreaming this together… we can dream it better.
