Hysterical investigates a mysterious illness that spreads among a group of high school girls in upstate New York. What is causing their sudden, often violent symptoms? Is there something in the water or inside the school? Or is it “all in their head?” The series examines the outbreak in LeRoy, NY, believed by some to be the most severe case of mass hysteria since the Salem Witch Trials. In his search for answers, Dan Taberski (9/12, Missing Richard Simmons, Running from Cops) explores other seemingly inexplicable events of the last few years – CIA officers being crippled with nausea and vertigo; cops OD'ing from exposure to fentanyl – and discovers they’re far more connected than we realize.
From Wondery and Pineapple Street Studios, this 7-part series forces us to grapple with the mysteries of our own minds, and reckon with a contagion that we thought was long dead, but may be the defining disorder of our time.

Previous Episode
Checkpoint | 94
When the stuffy assholes from the Watchers Council descend upon Sunnydale, they choose violence, instead of working WITH the Scoobs to defeat Glory! They shut down the Magic Box, threaten to have Giles deported, and force Buffy and the Scoobs through hoops of fuckshit for the OPPORTUNITY to even LEARN some not-so-fun-facts about Glory!
Rewatch, listen & laugh as Giles breaks the AC in the Podlab, Alaina gets possessed by one of Ash’s spirits, and Buffy has one of the most iconique Brutal Buffy Banter moments!

Blood Ties | 95
When Buffy spills the beans about our little Dawn-key, the Scoobs have some serious problems adjusting to the news – or not broadcasting the news in public like they work at HIPPA Violation Memorial Hospital. Dawn sets her focus on continuing the tradition on awful Buffy’s birthday by B-and-Eing into the Magic Box and finding out about her true identity!
Rewatch, listen & laugh as we talk about Glory and Ben the Negative Nine Year Old Intern’s complicated relationship, Ash and Alaina launch a new segment, and Mikie has an existential crisis.
