This episode was sort of a bummer, sorry folks.
Major take homes: the Satanic Panic was bonkers, go nuts with the heavy metal and DnD, and our memories, for the most part, suck.  
On this minisode, we talk about the 80s Satanic Panic and how insane and unjust it was. Also, some deeply cool science about memory and the risks of listening to smooth jazz.
Stuff we discussed:
Vox article on the Satanic Panic
Heartbreaking Texas Monthly article on Dan and Fran Keller
The Satanic Temple (a political advocacy group)
Totally ridiculous videos of backmasking
