Wait To Panic

17 - Bluebirbs & LSD


Listen Later

Loren has the week off on a very well deserved and needed COVID staycation! While she takes some time to rest and recharge, Anastasia & special guest (Blake!) dive into this week's trippy story.

What do Bluebirds, Artichokes, and more LSD than you can shake a stick at have in common? The CIA, of course!


If you thought the 1962 film, The Manchurian Candidate was all fiction, then buckle up, because we're going to go back in time a decade or so to a time when the United States studied hypnosis, mind control, and buckets of illegal drugs in some very, very unethical experiments. Get ready, because this is one drug trip that's going to hurt to come down from.

Special thanks to Blake for being such a good sport and joining Anastasia this week! We appreciate your spectacular riffs and improv abilities and hope you'll join us again sometime!


Wait to Panic is a weekly podcast where two longtime friends take turns sharing stories that just might make your skin crawl. If you like what you hear and want more, give us some love and come back each Sunday for our newest episode! Loren is back and bringing some heat with her story!
