American Hysteria explores how fantastical thinking has shaped our culture – moral panics, urban legends, hoaxes, crazes, fringe beliefs, and national misunderstandings. Poet-turned-podcaster Chelsey Weber-Smith tells the strangest stories from American history and examines the forces that create the reality we share, and sometimes, the reality we don't.

Thank you for bringing back Jason Stanley

American Hysteria is honestly one of my favorite shows to relax to - and the newest show with Jason Stanley was just what I needed to get me through the political climate. You two laid down FACTS and I appreciate it so much in the midst of media tip toeing their stories about this administration. Thank you for your work 🙌
Important podcast!

Excellent and interesting topics, and I always end up learning something new. Really smart commentary overall. Also just have to say that I find Chelsey’s cadence and delivery incredibly soothing, so to each their own 🤷
Please make an episode on Banksy already
