    Samantha Smith vs. the Cold War with Maris Kreizman

    Who really ended the Cold War, Ronald Reagan or a ten-year-old girl? Eighties correspondent Maris Kreizman joins us for a heartfelt conversation about America’s Youngest Ambassador, Samantha Smith, a child who wrote a letter to Soviet General Secretary Yuri Andropov in hopes of cooling nuclear tensions. Then, Andropov wrote back. Maris and Sarah discuss the burden we place on the youth to “change the world” while simultaneously scolding them for their naivety. Digressions include the millennial urge to cut up plastic soda can rings, Christina Applegate’s SNL infomercial, and an important lesson from the Golden Girls.

    Beyond Belief with Chelsey Weber-Smith

    Did this story really happen or is it…Beyond Belief? Sarah and Chelsey Weber-Smith conjure up some haunting 90s nostalgia by revisiting a weird-kid TV classic: Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction, a show that provided watchers with a handful of mysterious stories and asked them to guess if they were true or made up by their team of writers. For this episode, Chelsey shares their deep dive into the bizarre life of Robert Tralins, the investigator whose “research” provided the “evidence” for each story deemed “Fact.” Sarah also curates three creepy doll-themed segments that demonstrate how so many of us were raised by 90s paranormal TV to believe the unbelievable.  The Doll Season 4, Episode 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZF9jGzGlPeQ&t=2498s The Battered Doll Season 4, Episode 13 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rr3TluxXQ8w&t=2534s The Sleepwalker Season 3, Episode 11 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vh4V-q-0ao More Chelsey Weber-Smith: www.americanhysteria.comwww.instagram.com/americanhysteriapodcast
