    Wiley About the FDA

    In this week’s episode, The Mystics investigate everyone’s favorite government agency: the FDA 💼 After noticing what feels like an absolutely unreasonable number of food and drug recalls lately, a simple question emerges: why did we decide we needed an FDA in the first place? The answer begins in 1906, when consumer protection was apparently more of a fun suggestion than a requirement 🥴 From the origins of the Pure Food and Drugs Act to the scandals, snake oils, questionable ingredients, and political battles that helped shape modern food and drug regulation, the Mystics dig into how America eventually decided that maybe people should know what they’re actually putting into their bodies. Because apparently, after centuries of human experimentation, someone finally thought, “Hey…maybe we should check this stuff?” 🫨 THE IMPORTANT LINKS AND CRED 📸 Cover Art by Rainbowfishdesign 🎶 The Grimm Mystics Theme Song by Bear Golden and Abby Golden Sulfanilamide Disaster FDA History History.com on 'The Jungle'

    Reportedly Live

    In this week’s episode, The Mystics dive into the bizarre and still-unfolding case of Lindsay Clancy. With an active court case and real people at the center of this story, Amber and Lesley take a respectful approach while still examining the questions, contradictions, and alleged inconsistencies surrounding the original narrative. Everything discussed is alleged, and opinions are strictly opinions, but when a case keeps producing new developments, sometimes the only thing to do is pause and ask, “Wait… what?” It’s Reportedly Live, and unfortunately, the weirdness is very much still developing.
