What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

There are plenty of places to learn about drugs, but no one’s doing it like The Trip Report Report! The hosts do an excellent job of summarizing in-depth research into drug history and first-person reports, infused with a healthy dose of banter and political awareness. A must-listen for anyone interested in drugs, history, and culture.

What more could one want out a podcast? Engaging hosts, and extremely well-researched to boot!

N. B. Smith · Aug 2026

This is a refreshing and fun perspective on the world of drugs. I appreciate the use of personal stories from people who used ketamine safely and thoughtfully, instead of just scary D.A.R.E. stories. If you want to learn some history of the creation of ketamine without the boring research, this is the podcast for you. It blends firsthand accounts with well-researched information, providing a balanced representation of various drug experiences. The hosts don't glorify or vilify drugs or the people taking them, but instead lightheartedly and comedically focus on the challenges and enlightenment that people can gain through their experiences.
