Customer Reviews
Not the likely target audience.
I have been listening to Hysteria since episode one when Erin was in NY. I am likely not the target audience. A 44 year old white guy who drives a long haul truck. However, it was part of the Crooked Media family so I thought I would listen. I enjoyed that it challenged my thinking, about myself, women, and changed how I perceived events happening around me. I no longer look at things through just my own lens, I’ve started to adjust to see how different events effect women, LGBTQ folks, and as a result I think I am actually a better person because of this podcast. I am more active in my community when I can be, and donate to causes when I can’t.
Keep up the amazing work folks at Hysteria, you’ve gotten me to be a better man, and I’m sure I’m not the only one.
