Lore Watch Podcast: How "Satanic Panic" changed media in the 80s, with ripple effects to today
🕑 Added 2025-09-09 22:57:31 +0000 UTCMost people think of the 80s as a simple time full of big hair and scrunchies, but those of us who were into Dungeons and Dragons will remember the Satanic Panic, a period of time when parents were terrified that every piece of media was making their children evil. Our hosts Matt and Joe take a walk through a history they remember quite well, drawing from their own experiences as kids trying to get into D&D and comics. A listener asked about the history and influence of the Satanic Panic, so Joe and Matt were more than happy to talk smack about Tipper Gore for an hour.
We hope you enjoy the show. As always, thank you for your support.
