How "Satanic Panic" changed media in the 80s, with ripple effects to today


Listen Later

Most people think of the 80s as a simple time full of big hair and scrunchies, but those of us who were into Dungeons and Dragons will remember the Satanic Panic, a period of time when parents were terrified that every piece of media was making their children evil. Our hosts Matt and Joe take a walk through a history they remember quite well, drawing from their own experiences as kids trying to get into D&D and comics.


A listener asked about the history and influence of the Satanic Panic, so Joe and Matt were more than happy to talk smack about Tipper Gore for an hour.
