This week’s episode is Mike Warnke, Fake Satanist – Part 2.

Today I am talking with someone whose work Christie and I deeply respect and whose podcast topics often overlap with our own. You know her from hit podcast You’re Wrong About, where she has spent years helping listeners peel back the layers of cultural myths, moral panics, and the stories we think we remember.
Sarah Marshall’s newest project, The Devil You Know, is an eight-part deep dive into the Satanic Panic: the believers, the skeptics, the wrongfully accused, and everyone caught in the blast radius. It’s a human story about the way fear spreads, the systems that f...

The Satanic Panic swept the country 1980s, in which claims of widespread ritual abuse and occult conspiracies were treated as real threats. Targets were wrongfully convicted, children were taken from marginalized homes, all while much of the “evidence” seemed to stem from one man’s written account. He rose to fame claiming he freed himself from the Illluminati’s Satanic control, but what if it was all a crock of lies? This week’s episode is Mike Warnke, Fake Satanist – Part 1.
