About this listen

In this episode, we uncover the fascinating—and at times frightening—phenomenon of mass hysteria, examining historical outbreaks and the psychological factors that drive them. From witch hunts and medical mysteries to modern-day social panics, we explore how rumors and collective fears can spread like wildfire. Tune in as we dissect the interplay of human psychology, cultural influences, and media sensationalism—and learn what these episodes of mass hysteria can reveal about our shared vulnerabilities, as well as our remarkable resilience.
