The Tapes That Tried to Rewrite a Person

This episode explores psychic driving, one of the most unsettling ideas connected to the Montreal MKULTRA experiments. Instead of using silence, isolation, or a single drug, the method relied on repeated recorded messages played to patients in an attempt to break down and rebuild patterns of thought. In three minutes, the episode asks what happens when language, something usually used to comfort or understand a person, is turned into a tool of pressure, repetition, and control.
