August 10, 2022 McKamey Manor, House of Legal Torture | Case File #124
McKamey Manor is a "haunted house" where guests are tortured, beat up, and nearly drowned, and it has a waitlist of over 20,000 people. In the late 90s and early 2000s, an amateur haunted house enthusiast, Russ McKamey, started hosting "haunts" in his backyard. Over the years he began to attract attention as these haunted house experiences became more and more extreme. By the late 2010s, he started to become nationally known for the fact that McKamey Manor had somehow devolved into an 8 hour torture session where guests consented to being beaten up, drowned, covered in bugs and snakes, and pushed to their psychological breaking point. But, despite the fact that everyone involved is a consenting adult, many thing McKamey Manor should be shut down. On this episode of Deep Cuts, we explore the disturbing world of McKamey Manor.

June 22, 2022 George Herriman and Krazy Kat, a Racial Comic Odyssey | Case File #118
He published a comic strip throughout the 20s, 30s, and 40s. Nobody knew he was actually black. In the 1920s, a cartoonist named George Herriman came on the scene. He developed a strip called Krazy Kat, which is one of the strangest, most revered newspaper comics of all time - considered by many to be the greatest comic ever made. For the entirety of Herriman's life, the public thought he was white. It wasn't until his death that we learned he hid his racial identity in order to make it in the world of comics. But in retrospect, his work is the key to understanding his complicated relationship with his own racial identity. On this episode, we explore the fascinating and heartbreaking identity, career, and secrecy of George Herriman and Krazy Kat.

June 01, 2022 MKUltra | Case File #115
They experimented on unwilling subjects in the 1950s to control peoples' minds and create super soldiers. And it's all real. In the early 50s, as WWII was ending the Central Intelligence Agency was being formed in the United States, paranoia was high about the technologies and weapons of war that were being developed in Russia and China. In order to anticipate a perceived threat of experimental mind control techniques being developed by foreign actors, the CIA implemented its own research arm with a goal of creating ways of controlling peoples' minds and even turning people into sleeper agents against their will. It's one of the most horrifying things that the US government has ever done that we know of. On this episode of Deep Cuts, we explore the surprisingly dark story of MKUltra.
