LEBANON, N.H. - s4story -- Her Magic Mushroom Memoir will release its final two podcast episodes in early February, bringing its serialized audio run to a close. Conceived as a complete, self-contained work, the series concludes without attempting to resolve every question it raises—by design.

At a moment when many podcasts function as extensions of established platforms or personalities, Her Magic Mushroom Memoir took a different approach. Developed specifically for sound, the series relies on the medium itself to carry the story, without celebrity framing or predetermined conclusions.

Structured as an investigative memoir-in-progress, the podcast blends historical research, scientific inquiry, travel, and narrative storytelling. Across its run, the series follows archival traces, field notes, and unresolved historical questions connected to a subject often simplified or sensationalized in contemporary discourse. Rather than advancing a fixed thesis, the narrative emphasizes process—how evidence is gathered, interpreted, challenged, and sometimes found to be incomplete.

The final two episodes complete the series' narrative arc while preserving its central tension. They reflect on what has been learned, what remains speculative, and what may resist resolution altogether.

In addition to the podcast's conclusion, Her Magic Mushroom Memoir will expand into video later this spring. Five video podcasts will be released in April under the theme "Do Magic Mushrooms Matter? The Science and Spirit of Psilocybin." Created for the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Dartmouth, the series examines psilocybin's path as a parable of modern science—first embraced, then condemned, and now rediscovered—illustrating how culture, politics, and fear can shape research alongside data.

Her Magic Mushroom Memoir is available on all major podcast platforms. The final episodes premiere in early February. Behind-the-scenes stories, reflections, and companion material are available at https://HerMagicMushroomMemoir.com.

About Her Magic Mushroom Memoir

Her Magic Mushroom Memoir is a serialized audio narrative combining historical research, scientific exploration, and storytelling. Structured as an investigative memoir, the series follows archival material, field notes, and unresolved questions—emphasizing process over conclusion and allowing uncertainty to remain part of the story.

The project continues beyond the podcast through a forthcoming video series, "Do Magic Mushrooms Matter? The Science and Spirit of Psilocybin," created for the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Dartmouth. The video podcasts expand on themes introduced in the audio series, examining psilocybin's scientific, cultural, and historical trajectory and exploring how research is shaped not only by data, but by politics, fear, and shifting social values.

Together, the podcast and video series form a connected inquiry—one that traces how knowledge is built, challenged, and reconsidered over time.
