Is there anything better than a little government conspiracy? What if it's not a conspiracy and the story is something straight out of a Hollywood movie? Well, that would be the story of MKULTRA. A government program, run by the CIA, in order to learn how to control the human mind and access its secrets through hypnosis, torture, and illicit drug use. I am joined for the first time in the new studio by my friend Jesse and he and I dig through these murky waters the whole time wearing our freshly crafted tin foil hats. Come join us for some fun conversation, good whiskey, and a story you have to hear to believe.
