This week on Hysteria 51, we're ping-ponging between “medical science is incredible” and “we are absolutely doomed (pun intended).”First up: researchers in Japan isolated a gut bacterium from Japanese tree frogs that, in a preclinical mouse model, showed shockingly strong anti-tumor results against colorectal cancer—the kind of headline that makes you whisper, “Nature… what else you hiding in there?” (Answer: apparently a lot.)Then we pivot to the most important scientific breakthrough since fire: rats trained to play DOOM… and now they've learned how to shoot demons using a custom lever setup. Yes, really. Somewhere a lab coat just gained a Metallica patch.It's a weird news buffet of frog-gut cancer research, DOOM-playing rodents, and the comforting reminder that the future is equal parts miracle and chaos.Links & Resources

This Week: One one hand, it is shocking to think about, and on the other hand it's just a continuation of America's long-standing tradition of white folks in power hurting themselves in the never ending effort to oppress others even more. The latest casualty of the anti DEI hysteria is stacking up to be men, and in particular white men. Women now occupy around 60% of all seats in college, and for many years now - in particular at the nation's most selective colleges - affirmative action efforts have been underway to ensure gender balance in the freshman class, even though vastly more women apply than men. So now, experts project that the anti DEI policies in place could result in fewer seats going to male applicants, as they are out competed by their female peers. Plus, we dig into a fascinating story out of Log Angeles, where parents are organizing to push back against screen time. Starting in Kindergarten, students are spending hours a day on devices, leading to all kinds of concern. Distraction, cheating, mental health concerns, self esteem challenges, are just some of the problems pushing parents to resist.

An interstellar object just cruised into our cosmic neighborhood and—naturally—humanity immediately responded with calm, measured curiosity… by screaming “ALIENS!” into the void.This week on Hysteria 51, we're diving into 3I/ATLAS, the latest confirmed visitor from beyond our solar system. Is it just a dirty, fast-moving comet minding its own business? Or is it something a little more… engineered? We break down what scientists actually know so far, why this thing has the internet acting like it found a Wi-Fi signal in the Kuiper Belt, and what the “completely natural” crowd says (spoiler: they have math and spectra and other buzzkills).Then we do what we do best: lean into the fun. If 3I/ATLAS is under intelligent control—even hypothetically—what does that mean for humanity? First contact? Surveillance? A cosmic prank? Or just a high-speed reminder that we are absolutely not the main character of the universe.Strap in, stare into the sky suspiciously, and remember: “closest approach” doesn't mean “close,” but it does mean the conspiracy machine is about to hit maximum RPM this week on Hysteria 51!Special thanks to this week's research sources:YouTube (video): 3I/ATLAS Is Causing Scientists To Panic.

This week on Hysteria 51, we're serving up two stories that prove society is being held together by duct tape and pure audacity.First: GameStop's “Trade Anything Day.” And they meant anything. Customers reportedly rolled in with a goose, a bobcat, and a Wii Netflix disc—which is basically the Rosetta Stone of “please don't ask how long this has been in my trunk.” If you've ever wondered what retail looks like when chaos is the manager on duty, welcome home.Then we head to the high-stakes world of competitive stone skimming, where a cheating scandal has allegedly rocked the World Stone Skimming Championships—because apparently even skipping rocks isn't safe from scandal, suspicion, and somebody's cousin “who definitely knows a guy.” It's sports drama, but with wetter pants and more passive-aggressive shoreline energy.Two stories. Zero dignity. Maximum weird. Hit play and let's skim straight into the absurd.Links & Resources
Breuer, J. & Freud, S. (1893) On the Psychical Mechanism of Hysterical Phenomena: Preliminary Communication from Studies on Hysteria. I do not own the rights to this article.

This episode is a deep dive into the fascinating, often misunderstood world of light, and how profoundly it shapes our biology, energy, and overall health. I reconnect with Matt Maruca, founder and CEO of Ra Optics, to trace the unlikely origin story of his work and explore how his thinking around light, sunglasses, and circadian biology has evolved over the years.We unpack why not all blue light is created equal, how modern artificial lighting disrupts hormones and stress responses, and why context, timing, and spectrum matter far more than simplistic “good vs. bad” narratives. Matt breaks down the difference between damaging short-wavelength blue light and the beneficial blue light that helps regulate circadian rhythms, while explaining why even helpful light can become harmful when it's out of balance or stripped of near-infrared wavelengths.We also explore how artificial environments like offices, big-box stores, cities, and screens create chronic stress at a cellular level, and why near-infrared light is essential for mitochondrial function, structured water in the body, and resilience against oxidative damage. Matt shares how his own relationship with sunlight has shifted away from extremes toward a more nuanced, biologically intelligent approach.From forest canopies and chlorophyll to sunglasses, sunrise exposure, and next-generation lens technology, this conversation reframes how we think about light exposure in the modern world. If you want a more grounded, practical understanding of how to protect your eyes, support your nervous system, and work with your biology instead of against it, this episode delivers.DISCLAIMER: This podcast is for educational purposes only and not intended for diagnosing or treating illnesses.

Germany is racing to rearm as the war in Ukraine shakes its sense of security, forcing the country to confront its military past as it strengthens its military might. Correspondent Bill Whitaker observes basic training in northwest Germany and speaks with defense minister Boris Pistorius in Berlin to find out how Germany plans to achieve its aim of building the most powerful armed forces in Europe. A new generation of drugs is offering hope to children who once had none. But these breakthrough therapies can cost millions for a single dose, and the American healthcare system still hasn't figured out how to pay. Correspondent Scott Pelley sets out to understand the challenges of paying for these expensive treatments. An unscripted underdog saga is unfolding in the most unlikely setting this college football season. Indiana University's perennially overlooked and outmatched Hoosiers have transformed into the #1 ranked team in the country.

Remember when 5% inflation was “no big deal” because Democrats said it was Putin's fault? Now that inflation sits around 2.5%—a historically normal rate—the same media is suddenly losing its mind.

This week on Hysteria 51, Christmas gets weird and history gets shinier. First up: we deck the halls with Ozempic syringe Christmas ornaments, Botox baubles, air-fryer decorations, and Taylor Swift hanging next to baby Jesus—because nothing says “tidings of comfort and joy” like a weight-loss injection twinkling in the tree lights. We dive into the very real boom in bizarre Christmas baubles and what it says about consumer culture, wellness obsessions, and our desperate need to turn literally everything into décor. Then we sail straight from the mall to the “holy grail of shipwrecks”: the 18th-century Spanish galleon San José, finally giving up its first treasures after 300+ years on the ocean floor—cannons, coins, porcelain, and a whole lot of international drama over who actually owns the loot. Expect Conspiracy Bot to immediately claim maritime salvage rights while we unpack the real story behind the treasure hunt, the deep-sea tech, and the $20 billion question.If you're into weird news, true treasure stories, odd Christmas trends, Ozempic ornaments, and cursed shipwreck gold, this episode is your festive, barnacle-encrusted fever dream.Links & Resources

Join host Lynn Hoffman in this powerful replay episode of The Music Saved Me interview podcast as she sits down with legendary Def Leppard drummer Rick Allen and his wife Lauren Monroe for an unforgettable conversation about music and resilience, purpose, and the healing power of music. Rick Allen’s story is one of rock and roll’s most inspiring tales of triumph over adversity. As the iconic drummer for Def Leppard, Rick faced what seemed like an insurmountable challenge when he lost his left arm in a tragic accident in 1984. But rather than let tragedy end his career, Rick Allen transformed his approach to drumming and returned to Def Leppard stronger than ever, helping the band achieve some of their greatest commercial success with albums like “Hysteria” and “Pyromania.” In this intimate replay conversation which is one of the episodes now part of The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Library and Archives courtesy of Buzz Knight Media Productions, Rick and Lauren Monroe open up about their deep commitment to helping others through the healing power of music. Together, they founded the Raven Drum Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to serving, educating, and empowering veterans and people in crisis through music and the arts. The foundation provides critical support and therapeutic programs that harness music’s transformative abilities to help those facing physical and emotional challenges. Rick and Lauren also discuss their vital work with Musicians On Call, bringing live and recorded music to the bedsides of patients in healthcare facilities. Their dedication to using music as a healing force extends far beyond Def Leppard’s stadium stages, reaching into hospitals, veteran centers, and communities where the healing power of music can make a profound difference in people’s lives. This replay episode captures Lynn Hoffman’s heartfelt discussion with two remarkable individuals who prove that music truly does save lives.

Picture this: the gods have come and gone, dynasties have risen and face-planted, cities have popped up and crumbled, tourists have come, posed, and posted a million thirst traps on Instagram… but the Sphinx is still just sitting there like, “Yeah, I'll wait.”Today we're heading to Giza to talk about the world's most famous stone cat with a people head: the Great Sphinx of Egypt. It's massive, it's mysterious, it's eroding faster than our faith in humanity, and it sits at the crossroads of legit science, wild speculation, and whatever the hell Edgar Cayce was doing.We're going to walk through what the Sphinx actually is, what we think we know about its history, how old it might be, why people keep insisting there's a secret Atlantean library under its paws, what modern tech like ground-penetrating radar and fancy satellite scans are actually showing under the Giza plateau, and why so many folks see Dr. Zahi Hawass as the final boss of “Nothing To See Here, Move Along.”Strap on the sunscreen, adjust your tinfoil nemes, and get ready for Hysteria 51.Special thanks to this week's research sources:Main References Mentioned in the EpisodeLehner, Mark.The Complete Pyramids: Solving the Ancient Mysteries.London: Thames & Hudson, 1997.Hawass, Zahi.The Secrets of the Sphinx: Restoration Past and Present.Cairo: American University in Cairo Press, 1998.Jordan, Paul.Riddles of the Sphinx.New York: New York University Press, 1998.Gauri, K.

Josh Hammer explains how "climate change" alarmism, which not so long ago was all the rage on the activist Left, has all but died as a political force. Why is that? Josh unpacks all the angles. But any which way one can approach it, the climate change jig is now up with the American people—and even for many leftist elites and elected Democrats themselves. Also, Josh reviews the latest twists and turns in the ongoing Minnesota Somali fraud fallout story and explains why everyone on the Right must sober up when it comes to Islam and immigration. This includes purportedly "America First" pundits, such as Tucker Carlson, who drape themselves in the American flag while serving as useful idiots for sharia supremacism and anti-Western subjugation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Is the universe trying to text us back… or did someone just butt-dial from deep space? This week on Hysteria 51 we dive into truly weird news: first, scientists are stumped by a bizarre cosmic image that defies easy explanation, sparking fresh debates about aliens, astrophysics, and whether the universe just hit “reply all.” Then we tackle the story of how poems can trick AI into helping build a nuclear weapon—because obviously the one thing doomsday scenarios were missing was slam poetry.Join us as we roast bad ideas, unpack the real science, and ask why our smartest tech keeps falling for rhyming prompt hacks. If you love weird news, space mysteries, AI gone wrong, and podcasts that mix skepticism with snark, this episode is your new favorite apocalypse warm-up.Links & Resources

8/8 Trauma, Memory, and the Silence of "Eating Bitterness" — Tanya Branigan — Branigan characterizes the CRas a collective convulsion or "Maoist hysteria." Mental health infrastructure was historically underdeveloped in China, and psychology was officially condemned as "bourgeois pseudoscience." The pervasive cultural idiom "eating bitterness" reflects fatalistic endurance of suffering without complaint. Severe trauma fractured survivors' memory systems, producing lasting psychiatric consequences including psychotic episodes and dissociative disorders. The national silence surrounding the CR results from both deliberate state suppression and the widespread personal psychological devastation experienced by millions of survivors. 1967
Thanksgiving finds us recording live and unedited in Salinas. It was a low key holiday with lots of food and family, but no hysteria. It's Kelly's favorite holiday. We cooked, we laughed, we knit, we spun, and we were able to get a podcast recorded. We recorded in the dining room so there is some echo-y sound, along with dog and family background noise.

Socks: Using The Humming Bird Moon Full Moon BFL Sock in the colorway Eye of Newt. Mountain High: Heidi Kirrmaier. Using my handspun Flowers From My Garden. I decided to put the body on waste yarn and knit the sleeves. Of course color pattern is different because sleeve circumference is smaller than body. Occasionally breaking yarn to manage color. Sheridan Flats Spinning: Purchased 24 oz of 80/15/6 wool/mohair/silk roving in the colorway Kaleidoscope. The owner said to spin at a worsted weight for best results. Mill is Olympic Yarn & Fiber located in Cosmopolis, WA. I've filled two bobbins to date. Rag Rugs: Wound warp for four rag rugs and started warping loom. Warp is 4" and 6" stripes in royal blue, green, and orange. I've threaded the heddles and reed, and need to attach the warp to the front beam. Then I'll turn my attention to preparing fabric strips. Weaving Studio: It's a work in progress. Garden Redesign: I've created a project page. Kelly's Projects Chenille Rugs Part 2 The pad is woven and I've started cutting the strips. They are pretty different from one end to the other. More different than the other two pads were. Next up is warping for another pad so I can get two rugs again. Continuing my Sleeveless Vest by Lone Kjeldsen with handspun from Jazzman's " perfect fleece." I've done the horizontal stitch at the back yoke so not that much further on this week. Charity Hats 11 and 12: This isn't spirit yarn, it's the leftover handspun from the boxy sweater. Knitting it held double. 11 is done, working on 12. Both plain beanies. Natural Dyeing Experiments I have three bobbins of CA Red fiber dyed with long steeped toyon. Holiday Shopping List Opportunity: I got an email from Abundant Earth Fiber that they are having a holiday sale on their dye kits. These aren't natural dyes, they are acid dyes, but a fun way to get started if you don't have the separate dye equipment but want to dye with more than KoolAid. Maiwa has a similar kit for natural dyes that is also on sale this week. I've been having fun seeing what I can get from my local area, but this looks fun. Winter Weave-a-long Now through March 31 We are interested in hearing from anyone who has experienced the Newbury School of Weaving.

Did ancient civilizations nuke themselves into oblivion… or did the History Channel just get bored again? This week we dive headfirst into the rabbit hole of Ancient Nuclear Wars – from the “radioactive” skeletons of Mohenjo-Daro, to alleged atom-bomb craters in the desert, to the Mahabharata passages that sound suspiciously like somebody watched a Cold War documentary and got way too excited. We'll talk vimanas (ancient flying machines), biblical firestorms, desert glass, and why every weird rock seems to mean “aliens with launch codes” to at least one guy on YouTube.Along the way, we'll pit wild fringe theories against boring things like geology, archaeology, and physics (booooo), ask whether Oppenheimer accidentally subtweeted the Vedic gods, and decide if the only real ancient WMD was still… humans and their bad decisions. Was there a Bronze Age Fallout-style apocalypse, or is this just another case of modern nuclear anxiety cosplaying in ancient texts?

In this episode of Hysteria 51, we're cranking the weird meter to 11 with a double feature of near-cremation resurrection and mysterious UFO lights over New York's Finger Lakes. First, we head to Thailand, where a woman declared dead was sent to the crematorium—only to wake up in her coffin moments before cremation. Was it a medical mistake, a glitch in the Matrix, or proof that you really can hit snooze on the afterlife?Then we jet to upstate New York, where baffled residents spotted a bright, unexplained light hanging over the Finger Lakes, sparking talk of aliens, secret military tests, and one very confused planet Venus. We break down the eyewitness reports, possible explanations, and what it all means for believers and skeptics alike.From a Thai “back from the dead” miracle to a sky full of questions, Weird Thai Awakening & Finger Lakes UFOs delivers spooky true stories, dark humor, and just enough tinfoil-hat energy to keep you checking both your heartbeat and the night sky.Links & Resources

They walk through Freud's developing technique before unpacking what will prove to be one of his lifelong favorite and most evocative metaphors for psychic life: a city. Abby and Patrick then begin close-reading Elisabeth von R's life story as she first relates it to Freud. What emerges is both a picture of Elisabeth's family system, its patterns, and the distinctly gendered roles assigned to its members as well as the story of her personal fantasies and frustrations as the family goes through turmoil and loss. The episode builds to the articulation of a fundamental Freudian preoccupation: how do psychic injuries arise in relation to real-world misfortunes, and how do life experiences and contingent events determine the form of an individual's bodily symptoms? Have you noticed that Freud is back? Got questions about psychoanalysis? Or maybe you've traversed the fantasy and lived to tell the tale? Leave us a voicemail!

Is homeopathy a gentle natural cure… or just really confident sugar pills? This week on Hysteria 51 Kevin Crispin of the Behind Beautiful Things podcast joins us as we dive into the strange world of “like cures like,” ultra-dilutions, and remedies so watered down they make LaCroix look concentrated. From onion pills for allergies to ghostly duck-liver flu treatments, we break down how homeopathy works, why people swear by it, and how it can turn downright dangerous when it replaces real medical care.We'll explore the bizarre history of homeopathy, its modern comeback as “alternative medicine,” and the very real harm when serious conditions get treated with nothing more than placebo pellets and good vibes. But we're also turning a skeptical eye on the U.S. healthcare system itself—because when seeing a real doctor costs a small mortgage payment, it's no wonder people reach for magic water.

This week on Hysteria 51, we're cracking open boxes—and secrets—that should have stayed sealed.First up, a Canadian woman is suing the CIA after claiming she was experimented on at age 16 as part of a secret mind control project. Think MK-Ultra, but with a teenage twist. Spoiler alert: It does not end with a high school diploma and a nice internship.Then we double down on disturbing deliveries as another woman receives a package she didn't order: a box of human body parts instead of her medication. We don't know who's running this shipping company, but they really need to check the labels.From rogue government programs to UPS nightmares, this episode is one part conspiracy, two parts horror, and all Hysteria.Buckle in, because reality's on backorder and your meds might be… someone's femur.Links & Resources
Epstein Hysteria Grips Nation, Threatening MAGA, Release Blows Up In Dems' Face, Implicating Most of Their Leadership! Plus, Smoking Gun Evidence Proves Capitol Police Staged The Pipe Bombing
Jon Herold kicks off a Monday-ish Monday with a mix of exhaustion, sharp analysis, and classic Herold humor as he unpacks a chaotic week of political drama, narrative battles, and strange internet behavior. From the MTG–Trump feud to the endless Epstein “file” frenzy, Jon breaks down why so many online fights feel manufactured and how bad-faith actors, bots included, are warping the truth-seeking ecosystem. He dives into Trump's reversed stance on releasing Epstein records, new DOJ maneuvers, the curious case of SDNY's sudden involvement, and the larger distraction campaign drowning out Trump's real accomplishments. Jon also takes aim at Media Matters hit pieces, Real Clear Politics shoutouts, Biden's sluggish executive action pace, DOJ inconsistencies, and the bizarre rise of Pentagon psyop podcasts. Mixing doomer self-deprecation with grounded realism, Jon makes a compelling case that social media outrage is synthetic, justice comes slowly, and America is still fighting through information fog as Trump continues to “flood the zone.”

Grab your torches, your questionable treasure maps, and maybe a chisel or two (for research purposes), because this week Hysteria 51 returns with regular episodes as we digs into Burrows Cave — Southern Illinois' most controversial cavern of supposed mysteries. From alleged ancient tablets to world-changing artifacts no one can ever seem to produce on command, this saga has everything: secret chambers, wild treasure legends, feuding researchers, and enough fringe archaeology to make Indiana Jones ask for a transfer.Brent, David, and Conspiracy Bot tunnel into the strange history, the skeptical takedowns, the die-hard believers, and the many, many reasons this cave might be more fiction than fossil record. But hey — that never stopped us before.Is Burrows Cave a hidden archaeological jackpot, an elaborate hoax, or just the Midwest being the Midwest?

Friday Emergency Broadcast: MAGA Civil War Erupts Over Epstein Hysteria, Trump Demands Investigation Of Clintons For Their Deep Connections To Epstein!
Live from Crooked Con, WA Rep. Pramila Jayapal joins Hysteria to share her wisdom on resistance and offer insight into how Democrats can become a “proposition party,” not just the opposition party. Then comedian Suzanne Lambert takes the stage to share some solicited advice on dating in D.C., dealing with conservative men, and workplace fashion. They wrap up with a petty discussion about Republican wigs and Nancy Mace's latest meltdown.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

This week on Hysteria 51, we're going all-in on the rear end with an episode so bizarre, you'll need both nostrils and an open mind.First, we head to Japan where an aquarium has launched an “educational” exhibit that lets visitors smell animal butts. You read that right. Curious about how a sea lion smells from behind? Now you can find out—for science.Then, we dive into groundbreaking research that suggests humans might one day breathe through their butts to survive critical health emergencies. It's called “intrapulmonary oxygenation via the rectum,” but we call it Plan B for lungs.From sniffable seal ends to potentially life-saving booty breaths, this episode stinks of science—and we're absolutely here for it.Tune in now before the future smells even weirder.Links & Resources

Lily Allen's viral new album, West End Girl, digs deep. It catalogs the unraveling of her marriage and the deeper pain that lives between the lines of her lyrical prose. This isn't tabloid fodder—it's what Pitchfork called her most “brutally candid” work, a rare space where a woman can hold an abuser, a system, and her own art in the same frame.While Allen insists the record is “fictionalized,” it's unmistakably laced with real life—even with the unavoidable layer of my own parasocial projection. The title track name-drops the couple's designer—“Found ourselves a good mortgage / Billy Cotton got sorted”—a pointed nod to their now-infamous Architectural Digest home tour, which, in hindsight, aged about as gracefully as Harbour's opening “bit,” greeting the camera crew like a mistress at the door. (Iconic, for all the wrong reasons…and very worth the watch. Psst. All relevant links are down at the bottom!)With almost no pre-launch marketing, the album shot up the charts, hailed by Variety, The New Yorker, and countless fans as her best work yet. (Personally, I've been devoted since her early-2000s protest anthem “Fuck You,” written about George W. Bush.) Still, West End Girl took over my social feed overnight. Yours too, maybe? This is because it touches something deeper than celebrity gossip or divorce voyeurism.Those of us who have spent years minimizing our needs, over-explaining our emotions in an attempt to have them recognized, or trying to contort ourselves into palatable versions of dominant cultural scripts feel a shock of recognition in every song. Allen articulates the quiet grief of being gas-lit into gratitude for crumbs.West End Girl isn't just about Lily Allen and David Harbour—it's about the way patriarchy teaches women to negotiate with our own erasure to serve the agenda of systems of oppression. She's writing from the same ache that so many of us have been metabolizing privately for generations: the manipulation, the gaslighting, the subtle minimizations that we stomach under the guise of love in an attempt to find it/have it/keep it.And that's exactly what the cultural moment is naming out loud. As Vogue recently asked in its viral essay, “Is It Embarrassing to Have Boyfriends Now?”, there's a growing recognition that heterosexual love has long demanded women trade dignity for proximity. Asa Serasin even coined a word for this in 2019—heterofatalism, or the idea that heterosexual relationships are doomed to fail, because women are too often expected to shrink our brilliance, temper our boundaries, and laugh off harm to keep men comfortable.Enter Left Standing: The PodcastI actually recorded the first episode of my new podcast, Left Standing, before West End Girl dropped—but they're part of the same conversation, and I knew I had to discuss them as such.The show is about the reclamation of our narratives: the language, myths, and cultural scripts that have been rewritten and manipulated to serve the false ideals of systems of oppression. In episode one we will trace the etymology of words like gossip (originally meaning “god-sib,” a woman who stands by you in difficult times), and hysteria (from hystera, the womb). We will also discuss the way in which patriarchy rewrites myth, starting with my favorite goddess, the true, often-erased story of Medusa—a survivor punished for being violated.The first episode unpacks these histories and the lineage of tone-policing that still shapes how we hear women like Lily Allen: as “dramatic,” “unladylike,” or “sharing too much.” In it, I quote Melissa' Febos' book Body Work: The Radical Power of Personal Narrative. She writes:Listen to me: It is not gauche to write about trauma. It is subversive. The stigma of victimhood is a timeworn tool of oppressive powers to gaslight the people they subjugate into believing that by naming their disempowerment they are being dramatic, whining, attention-grabbing, or else beating a dead horse. By convincing us to police our own and one another's stories, they have enlisted us in the project of our own continued disempowerment.Because when survivors tell the truth, someone will call it embarrassing, dramatic, attention-grabbing, unnecessary, not lady-like, or a lie.And every time we tell it anyway, we reclaims our power—and gives others permission to do the same.As this is our first episode, your shares, comments, likes and subscribes mean OH SO much to me!Details and resources below!Thank you Jacquline Burtney for designing this!

Protein sources, seed oil panic, aspartame fears — nutritional scientist Dr. Layne Norton dismantles the internet's favorite fitness myths here!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1234What We Discuss with Dr. Layne Norton:Total protein intake matters more than source. Once you consume 30-40 grams of protein in a sitting, the specific source becomes largely irrelevant since the muscle-building signal gets saturated.Aspartame fears are scientifically unfounded. Despite popular panic, artificial sweeteners don't cause insulin spikes, increase hunger, or cause diabetes. Cancer risks only appear at 10,000x normal consumption in lab rats.Context over absolutes defines expert communication. Real experts rarely use words like "always," "never," "best," or "worst." They provide nuance, acknowledge uncertainty, and present opposing viewpoints before explaining their position.Emotional manipulation drives supplement marketing. The more exclamation points and extreme claims in marketing, the less likely it's legitimate. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, not just assertion.Listen to how fitness experts (or any experts, for that matter) speak, not just what they say.

Across early modern Europe, fear spread like wildfire; between the 15th and 17th centuries, tens of thousands were accused, tortured, and executed as witches. At its centre was a man named Heinrich Kramer, whose infamous book, Malleus Maleficarum, or The Hammer of Witches, fanned the flames of hysteria and codified centuries of misogyny.Dan is joined by economic journalist Duncan Weldon to explore how a changing climate and the rise of independent, unmarried women made for easy scapegoats in a time of fear — and how the printing revolution helped spread these dangerous ideas faster than ever before. What does this moment in history tell us about how societies look for someone to blame? And how much has humanity really changed since then?Duncan's new book is called 'Blood and Treasure: The Economics of Conflict from the Vikings to Ukraine'Produced by Mariana Des Forges and edited by Dougal PatmoreSign up to History Hit for hundreds of hours of original documentaries, with a new release every week and ad-free podcasts.

This week on Hysteria 51, we're sudsing up the spooky and scrubbing down the strange!First, we take a spin through a haunted car wash in California that turns your sedan into a scream machine. Clowns, chainsaws, and soap—what could possibly go wrong? Is this the perfect blend of clean and creepy, or are we entering the final rinse cycle of sanity?Then it's a hard turn into the paranormal deep end with newly “validated” reports of non-human intelligence near U.S. nuclear sites. That's right, the scientific community is finally catching up with what UFO researchers have been shouting for decades: the aliens might be more interested in our missiles than our memes.From shrieking suds to extraterrestrial espionage, this episode is certified fresh by Conspiracy Bot and mildly terrifying by your local nuclear physicist.Lather up, buckle in, and beam aboard—it's another beautifully bizarre ride on Blurry Hysteria!Links & Resources
This week on Hysteria 51, we crank the weird dial to 11 with phantom radio signals and frozen sky turds—because that's where the news cycle is at, folks.First up: Cambodia is accusing Thailand of psychological warfare via ghostly broadcasts along the border. Locals say they're hearing creepy voices and haunting music at night, with zero explanation. Are they propaganda? Poltergeists? Or just some dude with a karaoke machine and too much time?Then, we head to India where residents of Gurugram found mysterious frozen chunks that fell from the sky and stored them in a fridge, thinking it was a rare mineral. Plot twist: it was airplane poop. That's right—turns out not all that glitters is gold, and not all that falls from above is a blessing.It's specters on the airwaves and sewage from the stratosphere in one delightfully deranged episode. Conspiracy Bot is way too excited about both stories.Tune in now—before your speakers whisper back and your freezer becomes a crime scene.Links & Resources
Shocktober 2025 spirals into demonic delirium with Juan López Moctezuma's Alucarda (1977). This feverish blast of Mexican Gothic horror follows Justine (Susana Kamini), a sheltered orphan who finds herself drawn to the wild, otherworldly Alucarda (Tina Romero) within the stone walls of a convent that's anything but holy. What begins as innocent friendship erupts into a blood-soaked storm of possession, blasphemy, and ecstatic madness.Ryan Luis Rodriguez and Mark Begley join Mike to dissect Moctezuma's infernal masterpiece — its ties to Jodorowsky's surrealism, its place in the “nunsploitation” subgenre, and its bold feminist undercurrents that still scorch the screen nearly fifty years later.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth-podcast--5513239/support.Become a supporter of The Projection Booth at http://www.patreon.com/projectionbooth
