Summary

In this episode of Thick & Thin, we’re spilling some tea- or better yet, we're finding out just why tea is spilled in the first place. Take a journey with me through the social evolution and psychology behind rumors and gossip, starting with the Salem Witch Trials. Why do we crave to know the intimate details of other’s lives? How are conspiracies born? Can gossip be a good thing?
