On April 24th Boston’s NPR news station WBUR, will release a new series called Madness, a special investigation from Endless Thread, the podcast created in partnership with Reddit. Madness looks into the story of forced brainwashing and the history of CIA-funded mind-control experiments.
Co-hosts Ben Brock Johnson and Amory Sivertson, along with producer Josh Swartz, investigate how the trust we place in doctors and medical institutions combined with a stigma around mental illness can silence the truth – and ultimately, accountability for disturbing outcomes.
Madness, the new, five-part investigative series will launch on Friday, April 24 and subsequent episodes will drop Friday May 1, May 8, May 15 and May 22.
