The Satanic Panic, Part One: Media At the Crossroads

We talk the rise of the Moral Panic Industry and outline the general evolution of the Satanic Panic Complex from its inception in 1971 to one of its most high profile and prototypical cases, the James Dallas Egbert III disappearance. Part Two will cover the Gary Lauwers Murder to the McMartin Preschool Trial and the mid 80s pivot from Satanism to gangs, Gangster Rap, and the Parent’s Music Resource Center Hearings.
