About this listen
She warned them. No one listened. Then everything burned.
In this episode of Mad Tea, Matt and Megan take on the myth of Cassandra—the Trojan prophetess cursed to know the truth but never be believed. But this isn’t just ancient history. The curse lives on in today’s world, especially for those labeled mad.
From psychiatric survivors to prophetic voices dismissed as delusional, we explore why society still ignores uncomfortable truths—especially when they come from mad people. What do Elizabeth Packard, Joyce Brown, and William Blake have in common with Cassandra? More than you might think.
What if madness isn’t the opposite of truth, but the form it takes when the world refuses to listen?
