I was the "Satanist" in my HS. Stephen King, metal and punk, and admittedly a habit of leaning into whatever incorrect assumption that I accumulated just to fuck with people. I mean, if I'm going to be treated like a Satanist I may as well devil horn and hail Satan everyone.

Daughter Dooley is my fave. I would follow that woman to hell and back. ❤️

"CW: vice-principals, high school" LOL - truly triggers for some of us.
That was EPIC!!!
This was so perfect! Steve captures the essence of the time and our old school with such detail I felt we were back in school.
Glad I got the patreon because Spotify decided to cut off the episode 5 minutes early

I'm old enough to remember the Satanic Panic. You've definitely brought the worst-case scenario to full roaring life with this one, and their race for the holiest of sanctuaries was perfect. You have my heartfelt thanks.

I remember the winter of 1983, getting nice and trapped and playing tons of D&D. 🤗
This episode was absolutely awesome! Steve and Cam have done it again, such an amazing set of artists! I love it every time Dooley appears, she is definitely a favorite
Thank you

Doesn’t matter. Like all of our specials, it’s not part of the season.
What is the best time to listen to this episode? Is it ok if I listen to it after I finish Season 3 or should I listen to it between episodes 48 and 49?

The librarian with reindeer headband made me laugh out loud. Y’all are too much sometimes
Whelp! This was utterly fucked up
