The Satanic Panic

It's my sister and cohost KT's birthday on the day this comes out (October 14th)! Unfortunately, she's been down HARD with illness this past week and we were unable to get her half of today's episode recorded. Instead we have an hour long episode on the Satanic Panic of the 1980s and 90s. It was a wild time in contemporary history (did it ever really end?) and you may even have your own memories about the moral panic. Settle in, light up your joints OR make yourself a devilishly good cocktail or cuppa tea and hear all about the Satanic Panic *~*~*~*~*~ Mentioned in the Story: Night on Bald Mountain/Chernabog Chicago Tribune 1989 Article (also listed first in source materials below) *~*~*~*~ The Socials!
