This episode follows the controversial career of psychiatrist Louis J. West — his ties to MKUltra, experiments with hypnosis and drugs, the infamous Tusko LSD study, and his role in high‑profile cases from Jack Ruby to cult violence.

Hosts discuss the ethical fallout, the blurred line between research and coercion, and the lingering questions about memory, manipulation, and power.
