Speaker 1 (00:00):
In nineteen fifty two, the CIA's chief chemist was looking
through George White's file when he stumbled into something fascinating,
a secret chapter in his life. That minute, the CIA
decided they needed George White. America needed George White. It
was one of the most irresponsible decisions this country has
(00:22):
ever made. From I Heart Radio, the insane true story
of the secret Cold War project spinning out of control.
Back in the fifties. The government wouldn't let you watch
Elvis Presley shake his hips on TV. That seemed too dangerous.
But the same government was running a brothel in broad daylight,
drugging random citizens at Christmas parties. For George White, ruining

a perfectly good person's life was fun, and the fun
was just beginning. Listen to Operation Midnight Climax on the
I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get
your favorite shows.
