TDA008 - The Satanic Panic Pt. 3


Listen Later

We kick the episode off by discussing the importance of separating art from artists and learning to respect art in all forms. Great art is frequently created by less than ideal people and learning to separate the two is crucial. 

For the main topic we round off the three week Satanic Panic series we've been discussing by talking about the major catalyst for its popularity: The McMartin Preschool Trial. From believing every word that children said, to storming a daycare and burning it down, everyone from parents to police had a role in furthering the extent of the panic. The most expensive trial in history at its time, it all began with one extremely mentally ill woman. What makes it even crazier was that an almost identical case with the same name occurred in Canada. (worth checking it)

Understanding these things is useful when looking at our government and the way that these types of conspiracy theory play out today in real time.
