The Shroom Boom

In our second episode of Sex, Drugs and Rock & Roll, we got the chance to interview Charlotte Cruz, who is the co-founder of Alice Mushrooms. Coming from a background in Food Studies, and her co-founder who was in Pharmaceuticals, we loved getting to chat with another female founder as to why she started this amazing company, focused on wellness for women...in the bite of a delicious piece of chocolate. Who doesn't love that?We picked her brain about the benefits of functional mushrooms, the rise in popularity of mushrooms in general from using them as medicine, to microdosing to tripping, and also learned about the struggle to legalize Psilocybin in this country.Created and produced by Claire Donald and Tess BellomoFor merch, our Premium link, social media, and tickets, please visit our page for all the RAM details!

Your least favorite teacher: Mary Kay Letourneau

In this week's episode, we have guest and friend of the pod, Shannon Dee host to take on the rather disturbing subject of Mary Kay Letourneau, the elementary school teacher who fell in love, and ended up marrying, her 6th grade male student in the 90s...they first met when he was in 2nd grade and started their "affair" in 6th grade.This was a media frenzy and one of the first of its kind, because the public had such a difficult time believe a woman and teacher could be this predatory.While many themes in this episode are shocking, it is also very heartbreaking and may be triggering to some. We'd like to offer a SA and rape trigger for the entire episode.If you know any child who you suspect is being groomed, please contact your local Child Protection Services.Grab your tickets to our live show HERE! Follow us on Instagram ⁠⁠⁠@Rightanswersmostly⁠⁠⁠ and TikTok at ⁠⁠⁠@Rightanswersmostly⁠⁠⁠Join Premium at https://rightanswersmostly.supportingcast.fm/ for $7.99/month for two bonus episodesFollow Shannon Dee on instagram here Learn more about your ad choices.
