  • Fell from Room 1018A: The CIA, LSD and a Man Who Vanished

    Fell from Room 1018A: The CIA, LSD and a Man Who Vanished
    Oct 16 2026
    Fell from Room 1018A: The CIA, LSD and a Man Who Vanished

    Fear cuts sharp: a government scientist ran across a dark hotel room in his underwear, dove through a closed window thirteen floors up, and for 22 years the United States government called it a suicide - but nine days earlier his colleagues had slipped LSD into his drink. How did a bacteriologist, a CIA program that "did not officially exist," and a physician who wasn't supposed to know his patient converge in Room 1018A?

    In this episode, we tell the facts of Frank Olson’s life, work and death, from his doctorate in bacteriology to his role at Fort Detrick, his attendance at a CIA retreat where he was dosed with LSD, and the unexplained fall from the Hotel Statler that left him dead on November 28, 1953. What really happened in Room 1018A and why has the case refused to settle?

    Person: Frank Rudolf Emmanuel Olson
    Date of death: November 28, 1953
    Location: Hotel Statler, Room 1018A, New York City
    Event: Dosed with LSD at Deep Creek Lake retreat nine days before death
    Program: MKUltra (operation active roughly seven months at time)

    - Olson fell through a closed window thirteen floors above a New York City sidewalk.
    - The night manager reported Olson ran across a dark hotel room in his underwear and dove through the window.
    - For twenty-two years the United States government called Olson’s death a suicide.
    - Nine days before his death, Sidney Gottlieb and Robert Lashbrook slipped LSD into drinks at a Deep Creek Lake retreat.
    - Frank Olson was born July 17, 1910, and earned a doctorate in bacteriology in 1938.

  • He Fed the Sick and Was Branded a Madman: The Pellagra Files

    He Fed the Sick and Was Branded a Madman: The Pellagra Files
    Oct 15 2026
    He Fed the Sick and Was Branded a Madman: The Pellagra Files

    Pellagra was killing up to forty percent of the people it touched and entire wards filled with the lame, the mad, and the dying - yet one federal physician cured one hundred and seventy-two sick children in weeks with groceries, not medicine. How did Joseph Goldberger prove diet, not contagion, caused pellagra and still fail to convince his country?

    In this episode, we follow Joseph Goldberger from his immigrant childhood to his work for the U.S. Public Health Service and his 1914 experiments in Mississippi. The episode covers his observations in orphanages and asylums, the prevailing germ theory, and the central question of why a demonstrated dietary cure was rejected.

    Person: Joseph Goldberger
    Date: spring of 1914
    Location: Jackson, Mississippi orphanages
    Topic: pellagra; dietary cause vs. contagion
    Event: recovery of 172 sick children after dietary intervention

    - Goldberger counted 172 sick children in two Mississippi orphanages in the spring of 1914.
    - Nearly every one of those 172 children had recovered within weeks after changing their diets.
    - By 1912 South Carolina recorded 30,000 cases of pellagra in a single year.
    - Pellagra had killed up to 40% of everyone it touched according to the transcript.
    - Goldberger was born on July 16, 1874 in Girált, Sáros County (now Giraltovce) and emigrated to the Lower East Side in 1883.

  • A tombstone accused him by name - carved in stone before he was even caught

    A tombstone accused him by name - carved in stone before he was even caught
    Oct 14 2026
    A tombstone accused him by name - carved in stone before he was even caught

    The marker in Boone County read "Poisoned by his wife and Dr. Cream," carved by neighbors while the named man continued to practice medicine and kill for nearly a decade-how can a community's certainty be so absolute when the law failed to hold him? What happened between that stone and his freedom would send him back across the Atlantic and into a fate tied to his own compulsion.

    In this episode, you will hear the life and crimes of Thomas Neill Cream, from his Glasgow birth and McGill medical degree to a string of suspicious deaths in Canada, Chicago, and Illinois, and the extraordinary sequence that led to his commuted sentence and departure for England-what detail in the final third makes the whole story feel inevitable?

    Person: Thomas Neill Cream
    Date of birth: May 27, 1850
    Location of prison release: Joliet Penitentiary, July 1891
    Event: Exhumation revealing strychnine in Daniel Stott
    Sentence served: 10 years of a life sentence

    - The grave marker in Boone County explicitly named "Dr. Cream" and accused him of poisoning before his conviction.
    - Cream received his medical degree from McGill University in 1876 at age 25.
    - Flora Brooks married Cream and he left for London the morning after their wedding in 1876; she died in 1877.
    - Between August and December 1880, two women (Mary Anne Faulkner and "Miss Stack") died in connection with his abortion practice in Chicago.
    - Governor Joseph Fifer commuted Cream's life sentence in July 1891 after Cream had served ten years, and Cream sailed to Liverpool on October 1, 1891.
