Tom unravels the unsettling details of these experiments, including the use of sex workers to recruit participants and the agency's goal to crack the code of mind control. With a backdrop of Cold War paranoia and a desire to outmatch perceived Soviet psychological advancements, the operation pushed the boundaries of morality in the name of national security.
Listeners will hear the startling claims of deeper conspiracies, unaccounted victims, and government cover-ups, followed by a hard look at the evidence that separates fact from fiction. Was Operation Midnight Climax a misguided attempt at scientific progress, or does it hide a more sinister agenda? Tune in as Tom examines the historical, ethical, and conspiratorial dimensions of this chilling chapter in U.S. history.

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
