Rip off your tin foil hats and throw your best pot on your head as you grab a seat by the campfire because this week the Hysteria 51 crew digs into the dusty books of American folklore to uncover the truth behind some of the nation's tallest tales! We’re throwing Johnny Appleseed’s "hat" in the ring with John Henry’s hammer, racing Babe the Blue Ox, and decoding Geronimo’s battle tactics. Are these legends larger-than-life heroes or just myths wrapped in America’s star-spangled banner? Tune in as we crack jokes, bust myths, and maybe even stir up a spirit or two. It's a historical hullabaloo you won’t want to miss this week on Hysteria 51!
