The Trip Report Report

In this episode, our wooden bowls floweth over with deep lore and more! We embark on a mystical journey to the land of the Koryak and Chukchi in Northeast Asia, and tell tales of what many people believe to be the original magic mushroom, Amanita Muscaria (aka Fly Agaric). You know we love primary source documents, so we're checking in with some 19th-century Russian dissidents who were exiled to Siberia and wrote some of the first ...

Today we're discussing the deliriant state known as Eiriel, and the two reports from the olde internet chan board which coined the phrase. This episode comes complete with a big wet smooch from the Hatman’s shadowy lips. We talk internet culture, enjoy tangents on figures like Frederick Brennan, and try to make sense of what drives people to consume life threatening amounts of over the counter allergy medicine.

Bennies Part 1! And it's a doozy...

We discuss the shockingly popular trends around so-called recreational Benadryl use, and the digital communities that have emerged to support this largely solitary activity. We follow The Hatman down a dark wooded path filled with creepy crawlers to figure out why he would telepathically misgender people, and to try and find out where we can get a funky hat like his.

We sat down for an in-studio conversation with filmmaker Courtney Stephens, co-director of the recent documentary, John Lilly and the Earth Coincidence Control Office. Courtney shares her unique perspective on Lilly as someone who has spent 5+ years conducting interviews with his associates and reviewing massive amounts of archival material. Our conversation centers around Lilly's sprawling and complicated cultural legacy; with ple...

We salute you!! In this episode we sniff out some bozos with problematic poppers takes, cover a bit of poppers current affairs, and drumroll please… speak with out first ever guest on the pod, the Pop Boss himself, Adam Zmith! We get his take on everything from poppers' ambiguous legal status, to which Star Trek character has the best queer story line. Finally, we climax with a discussion of the Popperbator community and give you a...

The moment you've all been waiting for ... it's the Poppers ep! With poppers in the crosshairs, we had to give y'all a whiff of the story behind your favorite little brown bottle. We start at the beginning in a french apothecary, peruse some titillating archival material, and perform some particularly lewd and crude reports that absolutely dripping with nitrites, among other things ;) Tune in next week for our interview with Adam ...

We're finally giving into our targeted Instagram ads and taking our mental health into our own hands (with an internet nurse practitioner who shares a name with a certain former First Lady). It's 2025 and we're getting our Ketamine from a compounding pharmacy in Ohio and shipped through the goshdang US postal service. 

*Trigger Warning for discussions of suicidal ideation.

Finally one for the dolls! JK all our episodes are for the dolls. Do trans people like Ketamine more than cis people? I don't know, but it sure seems like it sometimes when you hang out with a lot of trans people who like Ketamine! We read from Hannah Baer's excellent book Trans Girl Suicide Museum, and discuss some the factors that contribute to higher rates of drug use among the queer community. 

TW: for discussion o...

We read at length from an early account of explorations with Ketamine from the self-proclaimed High Priestess of Ketamine herself: Marcia Moore. We talk about Marcia's life, and seminal therapeutic Ketamine text: Journey's Into the Bright World. This is a text heavy episode, but I think it's worth it for the canon. Featuring a cute John & Toni Lilly cameo later in the episode.

The John C. Lilly episode! We discuss John Lilly's love and abuse of dolphins, potential three letter agency affiliations, float tanks (he invented them!), and of course, Ketamine. We read at length from John's autobiography, The Scientist, and discuss his proclivity for taking massive amounts of Ketamine later in his life. RIP John Lilly you would have hated ChatGPT.

In this one we discuss Ketamine's first use in a therapeutic setting and Salvador Roquet's sensory-overload psychedelic sessions in Mexico City. We talk about the first Yale study on Ketamine as a treatment for major depression, and the slew of studies and meta analysis that came next. Then we read two trip reports from people who have different goals for their Ketamine use. Trigger Warning: for brief discussions of suicidal ideati...

The seminal episode of The Trip Report Report! We discuss Ketamine's origins in the Parke-Davis lab and how it was fast-tracked through the FDA by testing it on prison inmates for use in the Vietnam war. Then we dive into some trip reports from Erowid and yes - there's a large jar of piss involved. IYKYK.
