このコンテンツについて
Step into a wagon of wonder and danger: this episode unspools the American love affair with miracle cures, from 19th‑century medicine shows to the cold logic of eugenics. You'll meet charismatic hucksters, desperate families, and doctors whose theories did more harm than good.
Through vivid stories—bleeding halls, opiate‑laced tonics, targeted ads, and forced sterilizations—we trace how bad science, entertainment, and prejudice fused into policies that shaped lives for generations.
As the hosts untangle placebo effects, racial and gendered exploitation, and the social roots of mistrust, they invite you to listen with curiosity: learn how to spot red flags, why skepticism matters, and how history still echoes in today’s wellness culture.
This podcast is a work of historical interpretation. While we strive for accuracy, some aspects of history are open to interpretation and debate. Thank you for listening.
