Gay Bomb

from WikiListen

In this unforgettable episode, Rachel Teichman, LMSW, and Victor Varnado, KSN, read through the Wikipedia page for the "gay bomb"—a non-lethal chemical weapon concept actually proposed by a U.S. military lab in 1994. The strange idea was to deploy an aphrodisiac to disrupt enemy morale, highlighting one of the more bizarre chapters in military brainstorming. The hosts bring humor and curiosity as they explore how the concept ended up in the public eye and why it’s now often referenced in discussions of failed military experiments. You won’t want to miss this wild ride through defense history’s more peculiar proposals.
