Episode 2217 | Decoding a Panic Attack: Munch’s Silent World

In this episode, we jump into the chaotic world of 1893 to find the true meaning behind Edvard Munch’s iconic masterpiece. We challenge the common belief that the figure is screaming, uncovering a much darker reality.

By examining the shift towards Expressionism, we debated if distortion can capture emotional truth better than a photograph. Join us for a full conversation about isolation, history and modern fear.
