  • 23 - Voodoo and Its Queen, Marie Laveau

    For several decades a very prominent personality known as "The Voodoo Queen' held New Orleans spellbound. Marie Laveau staged ceremonies in which participants became possessed by Voodoo spirits; she dispensed charms and potions, told fortunes, and even healed the sick. Marie Laveau had an extremely complex reputation in later life. Although a local newspaper once referred to her as "the notorious hag who reigns over the ignorant and superstitious as the Queen of the Voodoos", she was also feared for her power with numerous stories about the things that "happened" to anyone who offended her. While at the same time, she was regarded by many admirers as a living saint due to her humanitarian work. How does one person acquire such power? Is voodoo real? If so what the hell is it? And the big question… what's with all the dolls? Well prepare yourself as we cover the most southernist and voodooiest topic yet today on BRAIN BITEZ.

  • 22 - The Lobotomy: The Medical Worlds Great Mistake

    If you thought that scene in Sucker Punch where the doctor gave lobotomies with an ice pick was artistic exaggeration – well, you'd be wrong mi amigo. That's exactly how Walter Freeman, a specialist of lobotomies in the 1940s, performed thousands of operations. The lobotomy was considered to be such a popular "cure" for mental illness that Freeman would perform up to 25 lobotomies a day, using only an ice pick-shaped instrument and hammer, without anaesthesia, while reporters would watch. Freeman's crazy antics didn't scare off potential patients either. While some were being forced against their will to take the procedure many were begging for the chance. How did the lobotomy ever become an accepted medical practice? Find out as we go under the knife or should I say pic and get our brains a little scrambled today on Brain Bitez.

    Look anywhere in our society today and you can see these mechanical characters in all forms of media. From books and podcasts to TV shows and Movies. Shoot there is even a very famous DC comics superhero with that very name. But what really is a cyborg? The term is short for "cybernetic organism", which is a being with both organic and biomechatronic body parts. The term was coined in 1960 by Manfred Clynes and Nathan S. Kline. But are the fictional characters we have today exactly what these two men were dreaming of when they created the term? Would they be proud of the cyborgs we have created with our imaginations and how far are we from taking our imaginations and turning it into reality? Well we are going to be covering all this and more as we step into the world of cybernetics and see just how far behind we will leave the realm of science fiction today on Brain Bitez.

  • 17 - The Holocaust part 2: Hell On Earth and Hidden Heroes
    The Holocaust is still recognized almost universally as the greatest evil this world has ever witnessed. During this period between 1933 and 1945 millions of Slavs and Asians were murdered, as well as 200,000 Gypsies and members of various other groups. Thousands of people, including Germans of African decent, were forcibly sterilized. But It culminated in what the Nazis called the 'Final Solution of the Jewish Question in Europe', in which six million Jews were murdered. The Jews figured in Nazi ideology as the archenemy of the 'Aryan race', and were targeted not merely for terror and repression but for complete extinction. Lets take a dark and disturbing look at just how evil humanity can become, and learn about a few heroes that kept others safe from this evil force along the way. Today on Brain Bitez.
