Poison Lab Update: Mushroom Poisoning Radio Roundup
Hey everybody, you’re listening to The Poison Lab—well, almost.
We’ve got a new episode coming next week, but we’re running a little behind on our usual release schedule because… life happens. That said, if you’re looking for some toxicology content right now, I’ve got you covered.
Recently, I had the chance to appear on two local and state radio shows talking about one of my favorite topics: mushroom poisoning 🍄—and both were an absolute blast.
🌱 Garden Talk (Call-In Episode) (Ryan starts @ 1 hour and 14 min)
The first appearance was on Garden Talk, a fun, live call-in show where we covered:
- Mushroom poisoning basics
- Listener questions
- My game GOTTA PICCEM
- The book Poisonous Fungus Among Us
It was lively, unpredictable, and a great example of how curious people are about mushrooms once you open the door.
📻 Local Health Update Radio Segment
After that, I joined a local radio health update to talk specifically about mushroom poisoning from a public-health perspective. It’s always interesting to hear how radio hosts approach such a niche topic—and how quickly it turns into something broadly relevant.
🔬 Want a Quick Toxicology Fix?
If you’re itching for some Poison Lab content while you wait for the next full episode, these two appearances are a great place to start.
And don’t worry—we’ll be back next week with a full episode and answers to our mystery case.
Thanks, as always, for listening.
Hope to see you there.
