Biography
Robin Berghaus produced the 2025 radio series 'Psychedelics and the Texas Trip' — deep-dive coverage of psilocybin policy and science in one of the most conservative states in the U.S. She is a 2024 UC Berkeley Psychedelic Journalism Fellow. Texas-focused psychedelic coverage is exceptionally rare, making Berghaus' work an important counterweight to the West-Coast-heavy default in psychedelic media.
Why They Matter to the LearnShrooms Community
If Texas is going to have any meaningful public conversation about psychedelics, it will start with the kind of rigorous, locally-grounded reporting Berghaus produces. That conversation matters because Texas hosts both major academic research (UT Austin's McGill Center) AND active sacramental churches (Church of the Sacred Synthesis).
