In the 1980s and 90s, Satan and his followers were accused of brainwashing children, sacrificing babies, and infiltrating North American society on a massive scale — yet these thousands of alleged Satanists were nowhere to be found. Even so, the narrative became embedded in our cultural memory, warping everything it touched — including the lives of innocent people… And it never quite died out.

In a new 8-part series, Sarah Marshall (You’re Wrong About) explores the tangled web of the Satanic Panic, in a journey that will take you everywhere from Victoria, B.C. to rural Kentucky to San Antonio, Texas. This is a show about the people who experienced the Satanic Panic in real-time — the believers, the skeptics, the bystanders, and the wrongfully-convicted. What was it like to be a psychologist told to look for Satanists in every case; a mother slowly recovering memories of supposed Satanic abuse; a teenager accused of conspiracy to murder? The stories of these eyewitnesses point us toward the real underlying problems — individual and societal — that the Panic was a response to. The fault, as ever, was not with Satanists, but in ourselves.

From Rococo Punch and iHeartPodcasts comes The Turning: River Road — a jaw-dropping true story about faith, control, and the power to break free.

At just 13, Lindsay Tornambe was chosen by the leader of her family’s cult for a “special role,” becoming one of the youngest Maidens of the River Road Fellowship in rural Minnesota.

But one day, she and a friend made a daring escape that sparked an international manhunt and brought the entire cult crashing down.

The Turning: River Road is a powerful story of survival, courage, and reclaiming freedom.
