In this Radiolab-style episode, I weave together archival audio, expert interviews, and vivid sound design to explore how 1950s America erupted into a moral panic over comic books. I trace how fears of juvenile delinquency led to Senate hearings and the creation of the Comics Code Authority, effectively censoring an entire art form. Through immersive storytelling, I connect that era’s anxieties to modern debates over free speech, media influence, and who gets to decide what’s “too dangerous” for the public.
