Hysterical

This podcast is definitely in my top three ever! Well done show that is not only funny but very educational. Loved every second of it!

Loved this show, especially loved how neutral he stayed… he let the people involved tell their story. I think it’s relevant today when considering politics, too.. “belief is stronger than truth.”

Excellent examination on Hysteria, what it means, they different types, and how messy it is to be human. Very good main story and great side stories weave an excellent narrative. Highly recommend.

I like this host/narrator. He has a great voice and I like the way he unfolds the story. The stories themselves are fascinating and the tangent stories tie into and add depth and clarity to the main story. He stays out of the way during his interviews and just allows the other person to tell their story. The only thing I was really wishing he would do, which is perhaps a little unfair of me, was I wished that he had made it more clear to the people who were afflicted that conversion disorder doesn’t mean you were making it up. It’s not an accusation, it doesn’t mean the experience was all in their head. It’s a weird but totally normal thing our brain just *does* for some reason, and you can even see evidence of it in mundane situations all the time. Overall I enjoyed this show and will definitely recommend it.

This was entertaining at first but ended up really frustrating, tangential, and the reporter clearly wanted to find a specific answer, rather than relying on the evidence. He never connected topics he spent entire episodes on (toxic chemicals near the school), disregarded the fact that he interviewed people whose symptoms started before they even knew this was happening in their town, he dismissed the dangers of fentanyl, and disregarded what blood tests showed…all so he could end with a conclusion that all of this was more likely a case of mass hysteria. Don’t waste your time (and ours) spreading misinformation and exploring topics you’re not going to tie together if you’re ultimately going to be just another male dismissing women’s health concerns.

There is an extensively researched and documented 60 minutes episode on Havana Syndrome with evidence that Russia is behind these attacks. Interviews with victims of these attacks show they have permanent debilitating damage. Havana syndrome is NOT psychological. Incorrect info.
