Welcome to episode 37! In this one, Laurel talks about The Third Wave Social Experiment that was conducted at a Palo Alto, California high school in a 1967 contemporary world history class. Within a very short span of time, the experiment gets out of control--both for the students and the teacher conducting it and it leaves everyone with a bone-chilling outcome...
Next, KT tells the story of Operation: Anthropoid which was the only successful assassination of a high-ranking officer of Nazi High Command: Reinhard Heydrich (and good riddance if we can say so!)
Due to the nature of KT's story, we have included a content warning at the top of the show. There are mentions of suicide, mass murder and the general atrocities that were committed by Heydrich and the rest of the Nazi regime. Listener discretion is advised.
