Salem Witch Trials, Havana Syndrome, Medieval Dancing Plagues, nuns acting like cats... MASS HYSTERIA!!! Author, Screenwriter and former head of Cracked Video, Robert Brockway (1-900-HOTDOG), joins Michael Swaim on to take this episode of The Simpsons Taught Me Everything Podcast into a slightly different direction with a heavy focus on mass hysteria. It's not just depicted in The Marge vs. The Monorail episode but in quite a few episodes. Michael and Robert break down not just the science behind the root causes of mass hysteria with the help of a whole bunch of Simpsons references to make the case.
