    Episode 39: Dark Science, Revisited
    Jan 13 2023
    In 2020, Brad recorded and released Dark Science, an episode talking about human experiments in Nazi Germany. We've grown a lot since then, and a lot has been revealed in the following years as well. This episode is simply a reimagining of the orignal, with more information, more banter, and of course, more history. This episode is a heavy one, so trigger warnings for suicide, nazism, medicine, abuse, and tons of other things.
