This week, we scratch the surface on some of the connections between mushroom and early religion, mostly Christianity, we also discuss some topics about the church that does not get much attention and end with some light-hearted reflections of the worst places to have laughed. 

Sorry for the Audio this week, we had some issue with our recordings being out of sync and excessive breathing, hopefully next week will be better!
