Listen Now: Hysterical
Hysterical investigates a mysterious illness that spreads among a group of high school girls in upstate New York. What is causing their sudden, often violent symptoms? Is there something in the water or inside the school? Or is it “all in their head?” The series examines the outbreak in LeRoy, NY, believed by some to be the most severe case of mass hysteria since the Salem Witch Trials. In his search for answers, Dan Taberski (9/12, Missing Richard Simmons, Running from Cops) explores other seemingly inexplicable events of the last few years – CIA officers being crippled with nausea and vertigo; cops OD'ing from exposure to fentanyl – and discovers they’re far more connected than we realize.
From Wondery and Pineapple Street Studios, this 7-part series forces us to grapple with the mysteries of our own minds, and reckon with a contagion that we thought was long dead, but may be the defining disorder of our time.
Follow Hysterical on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts. You can binge all episodes of Hysterical early and ad-free right now by joining Wondery+ at Wondery.fm/Hysterical_Morbid.

Likes, Lies, and Homicide: The Dark Descent of JinnKidd
This week we’re discussing the heartbreaking murder of Ana Abulaban at the hands of her abusive husband Ali, known online as ‘JinnKidd’. A somber reminder that regardless of how “happy” a couple appears online, it can be an entirely different story once the cameras stop rolling.

Customer Reviews
Just discovered
Just found this gem!! LOVE
LOVE IT!
Long time Geoff, fresh cult babe here. Absolutely love the Gypsy Rose Life After Lock Up recaps. My mom has munchausen and the was definitely some Munchausen By Proxy among my sisters and myself from her. I want to know all about the show, because of course. Currently I’ve reached a break though in my own healing resulting in me finally being an artist who makes art: in pain I g fourteen canvases! All this to say, I’m not watching media at the moment. Spencer’s commentary and retelling of highlights is just what I needed! Even subscribed to wondery for the early access, because I freaking love the vibes here. While I don’t find myself laughing as much as when listening to oBITCHuary, but I’m learning A LOT! Sorry for the long winded review, just wanted to say I appreciate the Gypsy Rose mini episodes greatly 🩷🩷🩷
(In)Sanity Refresher
This show is one of a few I look forward to every week and went back in the catalogue to listen to. It’s always interesting to hear multiple takes of a case or a cult or any situation really. Spencer Henry does a great job of researching a variety of subjects and is a joy to listen to.
