Podcast: Hysteria
Published On: Thu Mar 05 2026
Description: Erin Ryan and Akilah Hughes dig into the results from Tuesday's primaries, Trump’s Armageddon war in Iran, Hillary Clinton’s Epstein deposition, and the ever-moving goal posts for women in Washington. They also cover a horrifying new law in Kansas targeting trans people, Kristi Noem’s bad day at the Senate, and Politico’s unsettling profile of Nancy Mace. Then Kiran Deol joins for a very petty edition of the Sanity Corner, where they rant and rave about curling, tall men, and revisit a perfect network sitcom that was canceled too soon.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.
