One of worst and most pointless podcasts going. Just embarrassingly bad content from uneducated fools
Really enjoyed listening to Clare Malone in this episode. Thanks Hysteria team for everything you do! 💕
It was great to hear Jane Coaston this morning! I hope she’s on the short list to replace Alyssa.
Love Hysteria and of course we all miss you, Alyssa. With that said, I loved hearing Melissa Murray on this week and Leigh McGowan last week. Would love to hear either of them regularly filling Alyssa’s seat.

This show blends sharp political analysis with humor and pop culture, led by two prominent female hosts who cover reproductive rights, elections, policy, and current events through a feminist, progressive lens. Episodes frequently pair insider political context with candid commentary, guest interviews, and lighthearted banter, making complex policy accessible and entertaining. A recurring strength is turning topical politics into relatable conversations about how decisions affect women's lives, families, and everyday culture. Notable are high-profile guest discussions, a bold, no-nonsense style, and a willingness to challenge power while keeping the tone engaging and witty.
