GenXGrownUp Takeover

1980s Now

For the holiday, the 1980s Now crew gifts the joy of the GenXGrownUp podcast. After a brief introduction from Will, Kat and Jon, listen to our co-host Jon as he leads his own trio of retro enthusiasts, as they discuss a terrifying phenomenon that haunted our favorite decade.

In the 1980s, a wave of fear swept across America, fueled by rumors of satanic cults, ritualistic murders, and child abductions. This wave, known as the Satanic Panic, led to mass hysteria, witch hunts, and even false convictions. In this Backtrack, we delve into the origins, impact, and enduring legacy of this dark chapter in American history.
