Fighting the Satanic Panic

Support Night Clerk Radio on Patreon In this episode, we delve into the Satanic Panic, which was the primo moral panic of the 1980s and 90s. Specifically, we’re looking at the Satanic Panic series of albums by Vacation Bible School. This series of five albums, like much of VBS’s work, navigates the conflicting emotions brought about by being raised as an Evangelical Christian in America’s hyper-consumerist society. Join us as we unpack the layers of nostalgia, fear, and critique embedded in these evocative soundscapes.
