To go along with our Lord of the Flies episode we decided to cover the Stanford Prison Experiment. This shit is insane, only lasted 6 days and points out what is fucked about American prisons. Also I now realize that 1971 was in fact 50 years ago.

Listen to hear Sydney and Delaney talk about planes full of only children, how irresponsible kids are while stranded on an island, and how Sydney has never seen a dead body but has also seen a ton of peoples bones. What really is the truth?

Not a book, just a little info about the kidnapping and arrest of Patty Hearst. Hearst was in prison with Lyn "Squeaky" Fromme so we figured why not talk about Patty and why a woman from a super rich and prominent family was in a federal prison with a would-be assassin.

On this episode we read the biography Squeaky: The Life and Times of Alice Lynette Fromme by Jess Bravin. Squeaky was the first bitch to try to kill president Ford. Turns out that wasn't the only crazy event in her life, since she was also one of the original Manson girls. Listen to us discuss how Squeaky and her friends did make some good points about the environment and capitalism, but all that is really useless when they're walking around in swastica robes. Also threatening to kill so many people wasn't cool either.

Do you love poison and want to hear all about the science and chemical makeup of all of the most iconic ways to kill? Well you have not come to the right place but please don't leave. We have a great time talking about the greatest hits of the 1910s and 20s and the start of what we now know as forensic toxicology. These guys are legit and they deserve for you to give this episode a listen.

Trigger Warning: Child abuse, incest and sexual assault.
Buckle on in kids, this book is wild. If you're not familiar with Flowers in the Attic, its disturbing. We discuss what horrific things happened to these four children, Sydney's memories of reading this book at a young age, and who we would be able to stand to live with trapped in an attic for years (hint: not many people).
