A proposito di questo titolo

You may think you know these stories, but not like this. This, Again is where historical disasters, delusions, downfalls, and déjà vu collide with human psychology. From palace scandals, space shuttle explosions, nightclub fires to witch trials, host Mallory Faust takes the moments in history you thought you understood and reveals the blind spots, egos, and eerie echoes you missed. It’s darkly funny, sharp, and empathetic - and it just might change how you see the past repeating in real time.

  • Why We Change the Stories: Columbus and Late Medieval Europe (1400-1500)

    Why We Change the Stories: Columbus and Late Medieval Europe (1400-1500)
    Jan 15 2026
    In this episode of This, Again, we look at three familiar figures from late medieval and early modern Europe and ask a different kind of historical question. Not whether they were heroes or villains. But how their stories came to be told the way they were. We start with Christopher Columbus, whose brutality was documented while he was alive and whose authority collapsed long before he became a national symbol. His later transformation into a heroic origin story tells us less about new discoveries and more about what later generations needed him to represent. From there, we step back to Spain in the late 1400s, where Ferdinand and Isabella unified the crown through religious purity, expulsion, and surveillance. By tracing royal decrees alongside firsthand accounts, we can hear the story being shaped in real time, with moral justification first and consequences handled quietly afterward. Finally, we look at Henry V of England, a king whose short reign and timely death helped solidify one of England’s most enduring legends. Victories like Agincourt were interpreted as divine approval, while moments that complicated the image were absorbed and sidelined. Over time, Henry became less a man and more a standard against which later instability was measured. Taken together, these stories show how historical narratives harden not because evidence disappears, but because meaning gets organized around what feels necessary, stabilizing, or reassuring in a given moment.

  • The Anatomy of a Coup: Chile 1973 and Modern Echoes

    The Anatomy of a Coup: Chile 1973 and Modern Echoes
    Jan 1 2026
    Coups are often remembered as sudden explosions of force. Tanks in the streets. Jets overhead. Governments collapsing overnight. But history tells a quieter, more unsettling story. In this episode of This, Again, we trace the hidden psychological pattern that links coups across centuries and continents, from Napoleon’s rise in revolutionary France to Cold War interventions in Latin America and beyond. Using the 1973 Chilean coup as our central case study, we examine how democratic systems unravel long before soldiers ever move, through exhaustion, institutional paralysis, rumor, and the slow withdrawal of public belief. Chile did not collapse because the military was powerful. It collapsed because trust eroded. Because Congress froze. Because courts lost credibility. Because everyday life became unpredictable. And because enough people, across enough institutions, quietly stopped believing the system could recover. Along the way, we connect Chile’s experience to earlier and later coups in France, Poland, Spain, Greece, Guatemala, and Argentina, revealing a shared emotional architecture that repeats even when politics, ideologies, and eras change. This is not a story about left versus right. It is a story about legitimacy, exhaustion, and the dangerous silence that settles in just before power changes hands. History does not repeat in identical events. It repeats in human behavior. Attribution Notes: Every effort was made to cross-check primary sources and modern research.

  • The Child Star Problem, Pt. 2: From Pop Stardom to Vlogging and the Collapse of Privacy

    The Child Star Problem, Pt. 2: From Pop Stardom to Vlogging and the Collapse of Privacy
    Dec 18 2025
    The lights got brighter. The cameras got closer. But the system never changed. In Part 2, we pick up where we left off and trace the next wave of child stardom, from the 1980s to today. We revisit the sitcom era that gave us tragic headlines, the pop machine that chewed up teen girls for profit, and the digital boom that turned toddlers into monetized brands. Behind the fame was something more dangerous: a psychological cost that built quietly over time. We look at how parasocial fame warps identity, how trauma bonding creates loyalty to abusers, and how growing up in public reshapes the brain in ways science is just beginning to understand. From Britney Spears to Ruby Franke, from reality shows to family vlogs, this episode investigates how childhood continues to be scripted, sold, and sacrificed for entertainment. This is not the end of the story. It’s the part where the machine learns to disguise itself. Content Warning: This episode includes mentions of child abuse, sexual harassment, addiction, and suicide.
