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.

  • The Dark Patterns in Child Institutions | Foundling Schools, The Dozier School for Boys, and Modern Echoes

    The Dark Patterns in Child Institutions | Foundling Schools, The Dozier School for Boys, and Modern Echoes
    Aug 13 2026
    For more than six hundred years, societies have created institutions designed to rescue, protect, discipline, and reform children. Foundling hospitals took in abandoned infants. Houses of refuge promised to save children from crime and poverty. Reform schools claimed they could turn troubled boys and girls into productive adults. And eventually, residential treatment centers and therapeutic programs promised something more modern: treatment. Many of these institutions represented genuine progress. Many helped children. But across centuries, remarkably similar problems kept appearing behind their walls. In this episode, we trace the history of institutionalizing children from Renaissance Florence to nineteenth-century reformatories, the notorious Dozier School for Boys, and today's residential treatment industry. Along the way, we look at buried graves, children confined without committing crimes, allegations of abuse that went ignored for decades, and modern systems where regulators can still struggle to determine who is responsible for keeping children safe. Because the most unsettling part of this history isn't simply that institutions sometimes failed. It's how often the conditions that allowed those failures to happen survived the reforms meant to fix them.

  • Elvis Presley, Jackie Robinson & Mary Tyler Moore | What Makes a Cultural Catalyst?

    Elvis Presley, Jackie Robinson & Mary Tyler Moore | What Makes a Cultural Catalyst?
    Jul 23 2026
    Today, Elvis Presley is the King of Rock and Roll. Jackie Robinson has an entire day dedicated to him across Major League Baseball. Mary Tyler Moore is remembered as one of the most influential women in television history. But before they became icons, they became arguments. In this episode, we explore what these three remarkably different people shared and why their stories followed such a similar path. Along the way, we'll examine the psychology behind cultural change, why societies often resist new ideas before eventually embracing them, and how a single visible person can accelerate that process. Because history isn't just shaped by the people who change culture. It's also shaped by the culture that decides, often reluctantly, it's ready to change.

  • Pulling Back the Curtain: The American Revolution

    Pulling Back the Curtain: The American Revolution
    Jul 3 2026

    In this episode of This, Again, we pull back the curtain on the hidden infrastructure that made American independence possible. From communication networks and local committees to supply chains, intelligence operations, diplomacy, and the ordinary people whose names rarely appear in history books, we explore how a revolution was held together long before it was won. Because history remembers the cannon fire. But the real miracle may be that the cannonballs showed up at all.
