13 O’Clock Episode 418: More Stories of Mad Science

22 Aug 2024 / Jenny Ashford / Leave a comment

Way back on Episode 35, we discussed four cases of bizarre science experiments throughout history, and on this second installment, we’ll be delving into another four even weirder tales of mad scientists. First, we’ll discuss Robert Galbraith Heath, who claimed to be able to “cure” homosexuality by stimulating the brain’s pleasure centers with electrodes. Then we’ll talk about José Delgado, who attempted to influence the behavior of animals and humans via remote control. We’ll also get into the story of so-called “Red Frankenstein” Ilya Ivanovich Ivanov, who tried to breed a human-ape hybrid. Lastly, we’ll discuss the gruesome experiments done by Vladimir Demikhov, in which he surgically created a series of two-headed dogs in order to see if the animals could survive using only one circulatory system. Put on your white lab coat and dust off your test tubes as we journey down some of the stranger avenues of scientific progress.

13 O’Clock Episode 406: Phrenology – The Skull Bump Pseudoscience

30 May 2024 / Jenny Ashford / Leave a comment

Phrenology is a pseudoscience that emerged in the early 19th century, proposing that the shape and size of various areas of the brain (and thus the overlying skull) determine a person’s character, personality traits, and intellectual abilities. It was founded by German physician Franz Joseph Gall around 1796. Gall theorized that different brain regions were responsible for different aspects of personality and behavior and that the development of these regions would cause corresponding bumps or indentations on the skull. Today, phrenology is considered a historical curiosity and an example of how early scientific endeavors can go astray. It serves as a cautionary tale about the importance of scientific methods and evidence in forming theories about the human mind and behavior. Sadly, though, its pernicious influence can still be felt today. Join Tom and Jenny on this wild journey into pseudoscientific nonsense on a heady episode 406.

It’s the first episode of 2018, and things are about to get REAL creepy. Creepypasta, that is. After a brief and topical discussion of the recent “Tic Tac UFO” story that grabbed the headlines, we’re delving into the story of the infamous Russian Sleep Experiment. According to lore, a group of scientists working in Russia in the 1940s decided to subject a group of men to some extreme sleep deprivation combined with the use of an experimental stimulant gas. Spoiler alert: shit didn’t go too well, and an insane and shocking bloodbath ensued. But did this horrific experiment ever really happen? Tom and Jenny are on the case, so brew up the stimulant of your choice and try to stay awake for episode 72.
