A bomb in the night, your heart fills with dread, probably a murder of who wants you dead.

It could be a ghost, a demon or worse, perhaps you're the victim of a witch's curse.

It's hopeless, you're doomed, you'd witch's curse. It's hopeless.

You're doomed.

You'd call a priest if you could.

You'd rather just listen to who.

Sinisterhood.

I'm going to kill you.

Hey, everybody. Today, I am talking with someone whose work. Christy and I, Deeply, I'm going to kill you.

Hey, everybody, today I am talking with someone whose work.

Christy and I deeply respect and whose podcast topics often overlap with our own.

You know her from her hit podcast you're wrong about,

where she has spent years helping listeners peel back the layers of cultural myths,

moral panics, like what we're talking about today, and the stories

we all think that we remember. Sarah's newest project, the devil you know, is an eight-part

deep dive into the satanic panic. It's all the believers, the skeptics, the wrongfully accused,

and so many folks caught in the blast radius. It's a human story. It shows us how fear spreads, all the systems that

often fail us, and why myths like this never die, especially nowadays. I am especially excited

to talk with her today. We are covering the strange, tangled legacy of Mike Warnke, the so-called

former Satanist, whose book The Satanist, whose book The Satan seller, helped fuel the panic and whose

story Sarah, and your wrong about have previously discussed,

please welcome to the show. Sarah Marshall, thank you for being with me today.
