Her Magic Mushroom Memoir Launches as a Binge-Worthy Novel-to-Podcast Experience
September 09, 2025 at 20:13 PM EDT
Drawn from eyewitness accounts, scientific studies, R. Gordon Wasson's field notes, and public records, the story blends fact and fiction into 22 immersive episodes where personal transformation collides with history's untold truths.
Her Magic Mushroom Memoir combines the literary talents of professional writer and author Darren Hackett (The Antiquity: An L.A. Crime Novel) and John Wasson, a physician and healthcare researcher. Narration comes from Emmy-nominated voice actor Melissa Disney (As Told By Ginger), who also broke ground as Hollywood's first female trailer voice. Behind the scenes, award-winning producer Serena Travis (The Comeback Kids) brings her expertise to this ambitious hybrid of novel and audio drama.
"This project was born from a desire to tell history differently," say creators John Wasson and Darren Hackett. "By combining the depth of a novel with the intimacy of podcasting, we invite listeners not just to hear the story, but to live it."
Now streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Amazon Music. HerMagicMushroomMemoir.com hosts companion resources, community engagement, and exclusive content.
