In this episode, we’re diving into the moral hysteria that gripped the 1980s and 90s—when talk of hidden cults, ritual abuse, and devil worship swept through suburban America.

From figures like Barbara Snow to the broader cultural obsession with evil and innocence, this episode asks: what happens when collective fear becomes a movement, and what can we learn from it now?
