| 0:00.4 | American hysteria is a podcast that explores moral panics, conspiracy theories, |
| 0:04.8 | urban legends, and fantastical thinking, and how they have shaped our culture and politics |
| 0:09.2 | from the Puritans to the present. After three seasons, American hysteria has covered topics ranging |
| 0:14.4 | from the Illuminati to the Gay Agenda, and yes, that does involve Tinky Winky. Using sociology, |
| 0:20.1 | psychology, biology, and storytelling, host Chelsea Weber-Smith is a non-binary poet-turned |
| 0:24.9 | podcaster who takes you down our strange American wormholes, presenting forgotten oddities of history, |
| 0:30.3 | and examining modern events and pop culture to illuminate the long-complicated path to our present |

| 0:57.2 | So subscribe to American hysteria now wherever you get this podcast. |

| 1:30.8 | Welcome to Gender Reveal, a podcast where we hopefully get a little bit closer to understanding |
| 1:36.3 | what the hell gender is. I'm your host and resident gender detective, Tuckwoodstock. |
| 1:49.7 | Hey everyone. I hope you're all hanging in there and maybe bracing yourself for a |
| 1:55.2 | trans day of visibility on Wednesday. As we all know, trans day visibility is the one day a year |
| 2:00.4 | where the clouds, part, and trans individuals can both see and be seen by cis people. |
| 2:06.0 | So surely it will be only a good time. We have arrived at our Gender Reveal season 6 finale. |
| 2:13.2 | If you are tuning in for the first time, I highly suggest scrolling around and checking out |
