Should We Take Mushrooms? Psychedelics & Healing

What happens when Mandy and Kathryn get mushroom-curious? They dive into psychedelics, trauma, healing, and the possibility of taking a trip themselves, with musician Elvis Perkins along for the conversation (and a song). Also: Cardboard Becky takes a fall, and the family argues that jury duty is actually an honor and a good democratic thing so stop weaseling out of it! Check out the musical explorations of Elvis Perkins at elvisperkinssound.net. Have a question, story, weird thought to share with Mandy and Kathryn?
