Mass Hysteria

This week on The Brohio Podcast, we’re diving headfirst into the wild world of mass hysteria—when fear, paranoia, and collective delusion spread faster than facts. From the Dancing Plague that made people dance themselves to death, to the Salem Witch Trials, the Tanganyika Laughing Epidemic, Y2K panic, mystery seeds from China, and the infamous War of the Worlds radio broadcast that sent America into a full-blown meltdown. No ghosts. No monsters. Just humans losing their absolute minds—together. We break down the dumbest details, the most egregious reactions, and the moments where society collectively short-circuited. Buckle up… because once hysteria takes hold, logic is the first casualty.
