To celebrate our 100th episode (belatedly), your intrepid hosts recently took to the stage of San Francisco's Swedish-American Hall for a special live Moral Panic Bingo Night. Moira and Adrian were joined by the amazing Sarah Marshall (of You're Wrong About) and Matt Bernstein (of A Bit Fruity) to talk about moral panics big and small, and how they continue to fuck up our lives. Stanley Cohen's Folk Devils and Moral Panics is linked here, sans awesome original cover. Sarah Marshall's 8-part CBC series The Devil You Know can be found here.

What is it about a particular cultural object — or trend, or perceived trend — that makes people FREAK THE F OUT? Anyone who's looked at historical freakouts knows: it's never really about the thing itself, but more about ideologies that are under threat and in flux. If you challenge the status quo, in other words, there's a high likelihood that you could get swept up in a panic about something that has nothing to do with the way in which you're actually challenging the status quo.The best person to talk about these sort of freak-outs is Sarah Marshall, beloved host of You're Wrong About and current host of a new CBC limited series on the satanic panic called The Devil You Know. In this episode, Sarah brings her trademark empathy to your smart questions about freak-outs old and new (yes, we talk about kids & screens, but not for the entire episode).

Sarah Marshall is a writer and podcaster, best known as the cohost of You're Wrong About and creator of The Devil You Know, a CBC podcast series exploring the Satanic Panic which explores how a wave of moral hysteria in the 1980s fused pop culture, politics, and fear into an era where heavy metal lyrics and daycare centers became symbols of evil. In today's episode she and Amanda discuss why this moment still echoes today in new forms of conspiracy thinking, and how looking back helps us understand the stories we tell to feel safe—and the ones that turn us against each other.

This episode of Integrative Cancer Solutions Dr. Karlfeldt features an in-depth conversation with Sarah Marsh, a representative of Genesis Care in the UK, focusing on the integration of exercise medicine into cancer treatment. Sarah introduces Genesis Care's services, which include private chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and immunotherapy across 14 centers, and shares her personal connection to cancer through her husband's experience. She emphasizes the organization's commitment to a personalized approach, offering patients a 12-week exercise program designed to improve strength, manage side effects like fatigue and nausea, and enhance overall quality of life. The discussion explores the differences between private and public healthcare systems in the UK and Sweden, highlighting how Genesis Care collaborates with the National Health Service and runs clinical trials that benefit both sectors. Sarah explains that her five-year tenure at Genesis Care has given her insight into the unique needs of cancer patients, particularly the importance of meeting patients where they are and gradually reintroducing exercise routines that may have been disrupted by diagnosis and treatment. A significant portion of the conversation centers on the evidence supporting exercise as a critical component of cancer care. Sarah details how personalized exercise programs, including strength and balance training, can reduce the risk of cancer recurrence and help patients regain confidence and physical capability. She stresses the importance of flexibility and accessibility, encouraging patients to start with small steps and build up their activity levels as they feel able. Beyond exercise, the episode delves into the adjunctive therapies and wellbeing services offered by Genesis Care, such as acupuncture, reflexology, sleep assistance, and menopause support. These services are integrated into the overall treatment plan to address symptoms like hot flushes and fatigue, providing a holistic approach to patient care. Sarah shares that patients who complete the 12-week program often see significant improvements in both strength and quality of life. The conversation concludes with practical advice for cancer patients and their families. Sarah encourages patients to advocate for themselves, seek information, and involve loved ones in their care journey. Drawing from her husband's experience, she underscores the value of structured exercise and a supportive network, reminding listeners that it is never too late to start moving and that every small effort contributes to improved wellbeing and resilience during cancer treatment.Sarah Marshall from Genesis Care UK discusses the benefits of integrating exercise medicine into cancer treatment, emphasizing personalized 12-week programs for patients.Genesis Care offers private chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and immunotherapy services across 14 centers, collaborating with both public and private healthcare sectors.Exercise is shown to help manage side effects like fatigue and nausea, reduce the risk of cancer recurrence, and improve patients' strength and quality of life.Additional wellbeing services such as acupuncture, reflexology, and sleep assistance are provided to support holistic patient care.Sarah encourages cancer patients to advocate for themselves, start with manageable exercise routines, and seek support from professionals and loved ones.Grab my book A Better Way to Treat Cancer: A Comprehensive Guide to Understanding, Preventing and Most Effectively Treating Our Biggest Health Threat - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CM1KKD9X?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860 Unleashing 10X Power: A Revolutionary Approach to Conquering Cancerhttps://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/unleashing-10x-power-Price: $24.99-100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST1Healing Within: Unraveling the Emotional Roots of Cancerhttps://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/healing-within-Price: $24.99-100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST2----Integrative Cancer Solutions was created to instill hope and empowerment.

Have you ever heard the urban legend about the group of hippie college students that went blind while staring at the sun during an LSD trip? This tale became a very powerful anecdote in the 1960s as politicians tried to regulate the spread of acid spread across college campuses. For this episode, Sarah Marshall of the podcast You're Wrong About jumps down two rabbit holes with me: one that leads to a messy political hoax in Philadelphia and another to a conspiracy theory created, for once, by me. We'll see how a sensational story like this one can help drum up anti-drug public support and lead to the law-and-order victory of an opportunist politician's dreams.  Resources to Help Our Immigrant Neighbors: Immigrant Advocates Network CHIRLA's iRelief Fund NNiR Report ICE Raids Hotlines Listen to 'You're Wrong About' and 'You Are Good' wherever you get your podcasts ⁠⁠⁠Become a Patron⁠⁠⁠ to support our show and get early ad-free episodes and bonus content Or subscribe to American Hysteria on ⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠ Leave us a message on the Urban Legends Hotline at ⁠americanhysteria.com⁠ Producer and Editor: ⁠⁠⁠Miranda Zickler⁠⁠⁠ Associate Producer: ⁠⁠⁠Riley Swedelius-Smith⁠⁠⁠ Hosted by Chelsey Weber-Smith Learn more about your ad choices.

You've probably heard the urban legend called the Babysitter and the Man Upstairs or at least know the idiom it inspired: “The call is coming from inside the house.” Sarah Marshall of the podcasts You're Wrong About and You Are Good joins me as I share some new ideas about where this tale came from, focused on an epidemic of obscene phone calls in the 1960s and a true crime story that was happening at the same time. We also discuss whether this urban legend may have actually created the entire slasher film genre.

*Please listen to part one of our series first.* 'The Awful Disclosures of Maria Monk' was an 1800s true crime memoir about the horrors a runaway nun claimed to have suffered while living among debaucherous and murderous Catholic clergy in a convent-turned-torture chamber, and at the time, it was the second bestselling book in America. But was it really a truthful account of Maria Monk's life? Or was it all a hoax, a piece of propaganda meant to incite hatred of the early immigrant folk devils of American culture? In this two part series, Sarah Marshall of 'You're Wrong About' and 'You Are Good' joins me to try to separate fact from fiction, talk about the similarities between this this book and other hoax memoirs, and discuss the particular ways that anti-immigrant rhetoric has remained the same for two centuries.

RIP David Lynch, beloved director and otherworldly weirdo. The You Are Good feelings podcast about movies graciously invited me to talk about one of the most influential films and artists of my lifetime. Talking all things Lynchian with Sarah Marshall and Alex Steed, I tried to summarize this famously baffling plot of this film, mused about the concept of Duende, and cried on mic about the Unified Field. Whether you are a fan of David Lynch or not, I hope you enjoy this conversation that was very meaningful to me.

Sarah Marshall and I are back for a second helping of Chicken Soup for the Soul, the 1993 best-selling collection of "inspirational" and "true" stories. In part two I tell Sarah about the pair of motivational wealth coaches who created the book and then explain what is currently happening at Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment as new leadership has led it down a dark and exploitative path (allegedly). We'll talk more about the book's messages of neoliberal mysticism and prosperity gospel manifestation and put it all in the context of what is currently happening with the Chicken Soup for the Soul company as well as American politics at large.

Sheesh. Long title.

Many of you will remember the 1993 best-selling book of inspirational stories, Chicken Soup for the Soul, and its bite-sized, sappy triumphs of the human spirit. But shining a modern light on this book today, the collection hits a little bit differently. For part one of this two-part series, I tell podcaster Sarah Marshall of You're Wrong About the history of this iconic text and read her some of its most batshit stories, and together we discuss their confusing and downright damaging messages. In part two, I'll tell Sarah about the two motivational wealth coaches behind Chicken Soup for the Soul and the shocking controversies facing the company today. Throughout, we'll discuss neoliberal mysticism and the prosperity gospel manifestation mindset of not only Chicken Soup for the Soul, but our longterm American culture as well.

"There's no such thing as truth. It's bullsh*t. Everyone has their own truth, and life just does whatever the f*ck it want."To discuss the story of Tonya Harding is to discuss the ‘90s news cycle, “white trash America,” misogyny, and the vilification of girls living in poverty. This week The Wives Colangelo are talking about the Oscar-winning biopic, I, TONYA. This is a pretty charged conversation about the perceptions and assumptions society projects onto someone when the media needs a villain, and what happens when a person's reputation outlasts their humanity.Be advised, this episode includes discussions of abuse and domestic violence. ----Articles ReferencedMaking an Ice Queen (by Sarah Marshall!): https://thebaffler.com/latest/i-tonya-marshallIn Defense of Tonya Harding: https://www.damemagazine.com/2018/01/19/i-know-what-its-like-to-be-tonya-harding/----Become a Patron!https://www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom----Follow the Show: @ThisEndsAtPromBJ Colangelo: @BJColangeloHarmony Colangelo: @Veloci_trap_tor / @HarmonyColangelo on Bluesky----------Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDoTheme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/

Ever heard of the Disney theme park for adults called “Pleasure Island”? No? Well now you have - sorry! Disney has always been understood as a company for children. But Pleasure Island closed in 2003, and people are having babies later and later (if ever at all), and so now the Disney theme parks have become a veritable playground for a whole new group of fans: grown ups. In this episode, Hannah and Maia talk about Disney adults - their malignment by the general public, their strange religiosity, and their unabashed love of a conglomerate that routinely tramples on the rights of its workers. But, after all, Disney was designed to be a a nostalgic teet from which lost adult souls may suck. So why is it that when adults like Disney, we hate them for it? Tangents include: Hannah's dm correspondence with Deux Moi, and Maia's millennial rights advocacy.  Get a whole month of great cinema FREE: mubi.com/rehash Support us on Patreon and get juicy bonus content: ⁠https://www.patreon.com/rehashpodcast⁠ Intro and outro song by our talented friend Ian Mills: ⁠https://linktr.ee/ianmillsmusic SOURCES: Johnny Oleksinski, “Sorry, childless millennials going to Disney World is weird.” The New York Post.

For part two of our series, we are returning to the phenomenon called 'Tarantism' that began in the Middle Ages in southern Italy where the bite of a local spider caused bizarre and contagious symptoms almost like that of demonic possession and the only antidote was trance-like, vigorous dancing. Today we look at all the theories about what caused this dancing mania: Was it all truly a reaction to the venom? A religious possession? A full-blown hysteria? A feminist revolt? Or an archaic cult's secret rituals? Sarah and I explore these ideas and add a few unorthodox ones of our own.

The phenomenon called 'Tarantism' began in the Middle Ages in southern Italy where the bite of a local spider caused bizarre symptoms almost like that of demonic possession. The only cure was to dance vigorously for hours or days with the dance itself seeming to become contagious. Was it all truly a reaction to the venom? A religious possession? A full-blown hysteria? A feminist revolt? Or an archaic cult's secret rituals? Sarah and I try to figure it out over this two part series.
