        <![CDATA[We investigate how the U.S. Public Health Service conducted a secret 40-year study on untreated syphilis in African American men, despite early accusations being dismissed as impossible. The hosts analyze the paper trail from 1932 to 1972, examining how medical professionals justified the deception, the role of nurse Eunice Rivers, and whistleblower Peter Buxtun's persistent efforts to expose the truth. The episode details how this revelation transformed medical ethics and led to fundamental changes in human research protocols.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.]]>

        <![CDATA[In this premiere episode, we examine how claims about the CIA conducting secret mind control experiments on unwitting American citizens went from being dismissed as paranoid delusions to becoming documented history. Our hosts trace the evolution from the first whistleblower accounts in the 1960s through the 1975 Church Committee investigations and the eventual declassification of over 20,000 documents in 1976. The episode details specific experiments conducted at universities and hospitals, the role of Dr. Sidney Gottlieb, and how investigative journalist Seymour Hersh's groundbreaking reporting helped expose the truth.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.]]>
