Wondery Launches ”Hysterical” from Podcaster Dan Taberski
Dan Taberski’s new podcast, Hysterical, has widely premiered across streaming platforms. The series follows the outbreak of a mysterious illness affecting otherwise healthy teenage girls in LeRoy, NY and as the investigation deepens, other seemingly inexplicable phenomena begin to connect back to a contagion that we thought was long dead, but might be the defining illness of our time.
For years, Taberski has crafted popular podcasts like “9/12,” “Missing Richard Simmons,” “Surviving Y2K” and “Running From COPS” that take a deeper look at cultural happenings and mysteries, and Hysterical is no exception. It has a lot to say about our hyper-connected age – that it’s maybe, quite literally, making us sick.
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.
