American Hysteria explores how fantastical thinking has shaped our culture – moral panics, urban legends, hoaxes, crazes, fringe beliefs, and national misunderstandings. Poet-turned-podcaster Chelsey Weber-Smith tells the strangest stories from American history and examines the forces that create the reality we share, and sometimes, the reality we don't.2025 chelsey weber-smith Ciencias Sociales

  • Spontaneous Human Combustion with Sarah Marshall of 'You're Wrong About'

    Spontaneous Human Combustion with Sarah Marshall of 'You're Wrong About'
    Oct 20 2025
    Sarah Marshall is here to teach me about the confounding phenomenon of Spontaneous Human Combustion in which a person is found almost totally incinerated with no explanation, seeming to have burst into flames from within. From the Victorian era to the modern day, we will look at historical cases and modern explanations to try to separate fact from fiction.

  • 12 Ft Skeleton (rewind)

    12 Ft Skeleton (rewind)
    Oct 13 2025
    This is a rerelease of our 2023 Halloween special about the 12 Ft Skeleton Halloween craze, as well as the strange history of our relationship to skeletons, both real and fake, stretching back hundreds of years. On 10/14 you can hear me on You're Wrong About talking all about Midnight Ghost Shows! I also wanted to advertise a new series I am doing over on Patreon and Apple+ called Dispatches from the Field, where I talk at you about whatever I want for however long they want in an unedited, uncensored stream of consciousness. In our new episode, Chelsey's Lifelong Haunting, I tell you as many of my own ghost experiences as I can remember in under an hour. Next week we will bring you our episode with Sarah Marshall on Spontaneous Human Combustion and then this year’s American Hyscaria Halloween special, but you’ll have to wait until then to find out what kind of ghouls we will be invoking. ⁠⁠Become a Patron⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to support our show and get early ad-free episodes and bonus content Or subscribe to American Hysteria on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Get some of our new merch at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠americanhysteria.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, all profits go to The Sameer Project, a Palestinian-led mutual aid group who are on the ground in Gaza delivering food and supplies to displaced families.

  • Horror Movie Curses with What Went Wrong Podcast

    Horror Movie Curses with What Went Wrong Podcast
    Oct 5 2025
    What Went Wrong hosts Chris Winterbauer and Lizzie Bassett join me to tell the stories of three allegedly cursed horror movies and the unexplained events that befell the cast, crew, and sometimes even audiences. Were these films really possessed by dangerous, otherworldly energy? Or are we dealing with social conditions, marketing gimmicks, and safety violations that are all too human? What Went Wrong is a podcast that takes a loving look at Hollywood's most disastrous movie productions, and happens to be one of my favorite shows.

I really enjoy this podcast! The topics are interesting, everything is well researched, and I usually end up learning something I didn't know before. I enjoy having a little chunk of story time related to Anerican social history.

A good story tume!

I was enjoying it initially, and then like so much in the world it had to turn political and become insulting. I really don't understand that necessity, but it really is a turn off. I was enjoying it, but I won't be finishing it, too bad really.
