This is our off season talk show, American Hysteria: Just Another Panic Monday. Our regular season will return in the winter. Please donate to our Patreon! (https://www.patreon.com/americanhysteria)   For the next several weeks, my co-host Miranda Zickler and I will explore a handful of our favorite American freak-outs in a more casual way, while still giving you the same stories you love. This week’s topic: Black Friday. We'll learn the history of this strange American phenomenon that sees consumers fight, sometimes violently, to score the best deals of the year. We'll dive into some of the wildest stories from first fights to shoot outs, and talk about the psychology behind Black Friday, and just how corporations manipulate Americans into shopping until they drop...dead.
