Lobotomy & Other Fun Time Activities | 304 Oct 05, 2022

Show notes

Gather round ladies and gentlemen, do we have a deal for you. Your kid having trouble sleeping? Wife nagging you? Secretary too melancholy? Try to the Lobotomy procedure and fix them right up! Sounds crazy but a vehicle called the Lobotomy-Mobile used to travel the country to shove an icepick in people eye sockets to scrape out some brain and it was touted as a miracle cure. And this is just one of several horrifying old-timey treatments that were inflicted on people. This week we explore some of the more jaw-dropping examples throughout history. And, we see if they are still practiced today (spoiler: many, many are). So dust off your ear nails and find all your leashes, it’s Lobotomy & Other Fun Time Activities this week on Hysteria 51.

Sideworld: Terrors of the Sea | 302 Sep 21, 2022

Show notes

Director George Popov returns to the Lower 4th Dimension this week to talk his new documentary. Sideworld: Terrors of the Sea. In this chilling entry into the Sideworld series George presents a voyage exploring terrifying ghostly tales of the sea and monstrous horrors from the deep. It is a fantastic journey into a topic that already strikes fear into so many of us; what lies beneath. And, we talk all the spooky details PLUS what he has in store for us next with his company Rubicon films. He doesn't mention stupid robots who get drunk and try to kill you though, so there is that!

Did “They” Shut Down TVs on August 29th 1968 | 301 Sep 14, 2022

Show notes

SATAN IS TO BLAME! Either that or maybe just some static in the television line. Or, maybe it's all a lie. We try to dig into those options this week as we talk the supposed August 29th, 1968 TV shut down event all across America. We tackle the hard questions this week like did it happen? Is Conspiracy Bot to blame? Why does David Flora love soap operas? Plus, CBot reminds us that he thinks he is eternal, Max Headroom is of course brought up, and we brain storm better ways to get your Satanic point across. All that and more this week on the podcast that doesn't broadcast messages from the Devil, but we do play ones from a certain robot so there is that, Hysteria 51

Just Visiting: A Look Back at Our Beginning! | BONUS Aug 24, 2022

Show notes

Welcome in to a retrospective episode of Hysteria 51! Oh what a ride it has been so far, and our next official episode is episode 300! We have some special guests and blasts from the past lined up for that, and it should be a blast.

But, that is ahead of us. This week I wanted to take a look back. And not at a previous episode of Hysteria 51, oh no, a look back at the first time John Goforth and I ever recorded together. This was a test recording from early 2016 that we did into a phone just to see if we could keep banter going and if we would even enjoy doing a show. And, notice I said it is recorded into a phone so the quality is sub-par, and it is unedited because hey, why not laugh at how bad we were!

At this point all we knew is we wanted to do a show, but had no idea the format, structure, or anything. We called this just visiting because we were just visiting the idea of a podcast. I hope you enjoy how bad we were, and David and I will be back next week. See you then!
