In this chilling episode, join the Gentleman and the Disturbed Southern Bell as they delve into the unsettling Monster Study of 1939. This appalling experiment conducted by Wendell Johnson and Mary Tudor involved 22 orphaned children in Davenport, Iowa, testing hypotheses related to stuttering. The study remained in obscurity until exposed in 2001 by investigative journalist Jim Dyer, revealing its cruel methods and lasting psychological impact on the participants, many of whom carried scars throughout their lives. Discover how this unethical chapter in human experiments unfolded, its repercussions, and the eventual justice sought by the survivors.
