Sadly reinforcing misinformation
Whilst this is a fascinating story, to hear that ‘Conversion Disorder’ and ‘Hysteria’ are still being used by the podcast host to describe what is a complex and highly debilitating illness now recognised as Functional Neurological Disorder is very disappointing. A simple google search for ‘conversion disorder’ would have given the creator up-to-date information. Instead, outdated views and misinformation being shared with millions of listeners reinforces dangerous beliefs that people who suffer from FND are malingering and diminishes the experiences of the thousands of people and their carers who suffer from this neurological condition.

Loved this podcast. Presenter walked a fine line between being engaging/funny, while considerate to the range of experiences and views of those he interviewed. Does a good job of exploring the gendered, social and historical influences of a complex and psychological phenomenon.
