History doesn’t just echo — it screams. ”This, Again” is a podcast about the disasters, delusions, downfalls, and bizarre evolutions that prove humans don’t really change…we just change outfits.I’m Mallory Faust, and in every episode, I dig into the psychology behind the moments when people got it wrong — from witch trials to cult devotion, space shuttles to parties gone fatally wrong.

Subscribe now so you don’t miss the first release — because if history has taught us anything, it’s that we’re doomed to repeat it.
