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 🙌
Entertaining

Great subject content and well done. Episode idea - How the hysteria in some of the subject matter covered is now blamed on white Christian patriarchy hysteria of today.
Pick up the pace

I really wanted to love this podcast. The subject matter is fantastic! However, the host’s delivery is so slow that it alllllmost sounds normal when sped up x2. The problem with that is then every other speaker is unintelligible. I don’t have the energy to keep changing the speed while listening, so unfortunately this one is a no for me, dawg.
Important podcast!
