Episode 103 - ”Magnetism”

*Content Warning: This episode contains discussions of self-harm, domestic violence, and gun violence.* In this episode, several outbursts of bizarre behavior in smalltown Colorado lead Pete and Myka to learn a bit about the nineteenth-century father of hypnotherapy, James Braid. Our artifact expert is Kameron Sanzo, a Victorian Science scholar from the University of California, Riverside. There's no actor spotlight this week, but we shout out to Eddie McClintock (Pete) to celebrate his 18 years of sobriety, and his willingness to share his recovery from alcoholism openly with both TV producers and WH13 fans. Heavy themes are many. If you are struggling with thoughts of self-harm, please know that there are confidential resources you can turn to for help. In the US, these include suicidepreventionlifeline.org, and/or, PFLAG for LGBTQ+ folx at pflag.org/hotlines. For domestic violence support, contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline at thehotline.org; if your web usage is monitored, call 1-800-799-7233. We love you!
