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.

There’s a story beneath the pavement of every quiet street, a hidden history that doesn’t make the brochures. Every Town digs into that unsettling space where community and crime intersect, exploring true cases that are often overlooked. Host Andrew Fitzgerald guides each episode with a direct, no-nonsense approach, focusing on narratives that are as compelling as they are chilling. This isn’t about sensationalism; it’s about the sobering reality that darkness can take root anywhere. You’ll hear detailed accounts of events that have shaped-and haunted-communities both small and large. The podcast sits uniquely at the crossroads of news, culture, and society, examining how these stories ripple through the fabric of a place and the people who live there. Tune in for a deep dive into the mysteries that prove appearances are often deceiving, and that every locale has its secrets. The result is a consistently engaging listen that will likely make you reconsider what you think you know about the town next door-or even your own.
