Perspectives on Psilocybin: The Science and Mysticism of Magic Mushrooms

In this introductory episode, I talk about how I came to do this project and give an overview of the "mystical" experiences that people have using psilocybin, the active ingredient found in magic mushrooms. At the end, I outline the structure of the podcast: each following episode is an interview with an expert in a field that is related to psilocybin, and they each give their perspective on psilocybin as a treatment for mental disorders such as depression and anxiety.
