This week we're talking about mass hysteria: the dancing plague of 1518 & phantom social workers.  What happened during the dancing plague of 1518 in Strasbourg and how did they cure the residents?

How many times can we say "meow" in an episode? Grab a drink and find out in this week's episode as we discuss while enjoying some Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and Sam Adams Sam '76.
