The Poisoner's AlmanacUnit 731 Pt 2We are finishing up Unit 731 this week and getting into the thick of what went on among the research, medical, and military personnel involved. We also need to discuss civilians who might have been unknowingly involved as well. Human experimentation involving bio and chemical warfare as well as physical injury were the main activity of both the Pingfang site and the Unit's other branches. Trigger warning for mentions of torture, violence, sexual assault, death of children, and other things that will piss you off. Testimonials read may contains some detail but we are not aiming for gore here, just...
2026-02-161h 13The Poisoner's AlmanacUnit 731 Pt 1Hello Poison Friends! This week we are diving into the background and history behind Japan's Infamous Unit 731 before and during WWII. This episode will be all about what Unit 731 was, who started it up, and the environment and attitudes of Japan and other nations at the time. Ishii Shiro was a man of ambition and cruelty, and he sought to create and run military backed facilities to research and create biological and chemical warfare agents. He found the perfect place for a site that would give him (and fellow researchers he had persuaded to join him) unlimited access to...
2026-02-0257 minThe Poisoner's AlmanacPlum Island Conspiracies + Cold War Toxin Release ExperimentsHello Poison Friends! We are diving into some conspiracy theories related to the testing done on Plum Island here in the US and how it got tangled up with the identification of Lime Disease back in the late 70s/early 80s. We also need to cover some shady experiments performed by the US and the UK on their own citizens during the Cold War era, using what was then believed to be harmless chemicals and bacteria. We now know that some of those agents were not so harmless. We also know these were done because the US military has...
2026-01-1945 minThe Poisoner's AlmanacNazi Experiments on Bone, Muscle, and Nerves + Josef MengeleHello Poison Friends! This episode were are covering the conclusion of the Nazi experiments series we have taken on, including more testimonies of survivors and expert witnesses. We need to cover experiments concerning muscle, bone, and nerve removal and transplantation and the murders of mostly Jewish camp inmates for the purpose of the Nazi's creating skeletons for "educational review." We are also looking into the life and actions of Dr. Josef Mengele, as well as his escape to South America. I will also be sharing the personal statements of the defendants at the Nuremberg doctor's trials, along with the...
2026-01-051h 24The Poisoner's AlmanacWWII Nazi Experiments PT 4: Poisons, Infection, & Chemical WeaponsHello Poison Friends! Let's talk poison experiments done by Nazi's during WWII.Alkaloid poisons, corrosive poisons like phenol, and flammable substances used in incendiary weapons like phosphorus. Mustard and Phosgene gas were also experimented with as were various methods of euthanasia.Many of those experimented on them died or were left with permanent injuries. We have excerpts from the testimonies given by some survivors and reports and letters sent between Nazi doctors that tell us what happened. Trigger warning for this episode as there are many horrific details among the testimonies and reports. T...

The Poisoner's AlmanacNazi Experiments Pt. 3: Malaria, Epidemic Jaundice, and Typhus Experiments.Hello Poison Friends! We are carrying on with our series on Human experimentation during WWII and we are still discussing that done by Nazi doctors and the like. This episode is specifically on the diseases that were intentionally spread to prisoners and experimental subjects being kept at concentration camps, mainly Dachau, Sachsenhausen, Natzweiler, and Auschwitz (not that it did not happen elsewhere). The main studies were those concerning Malaria, Epidemic Jaundice (or Hepatitis A), and Typhus. The excuse behind such horrific actions was the study of possible testing, diagnosing, and treating these illnesses for the benefit of...

The Poisoner's AlmanacHuman Experimentation in Nazi Germany: Altitude, Freezing, and Seawater Tests.Hello Poison Friends! We are back with more horrible acts committed by Nazis in WWII. The focus for this episode is a series of experiments done mainly at Dachau, as far as we know from records that were recovered, and they centered around proposals put forth by the Air Force and Navy in Nazi Germany at that time. I will also go over some of the doctors and other personnel responsible for these horrors, such as Dr. Sigmund Rascher, and what eventually became of them. The High Altitude experiments involved forcing prisoners into a machine that could...

The Poisoner's AlmanacWWII Human Experimentation PT1: The Toxic Pseudoscience of EugenicsHello Poison Friends! We are starting a series of sorts concerning the human experimentation that took place during WWII within the prison/concentrations camps of Nazi Germany and at Unit 731 in Japan. Before we jump into the details of these experiments, however, I think we need to go over the major philosophy that drove the atrocities of the Holocaust forward and allowed mankind to do such things to others. Eugenics is now defined as a pseudoscience, but it had a big following in the late 1800s and early-mid 1900s, even among prominent scientists and politicians. There were...

The Poisoner's AlmanacEd and Lorraine Warren: The Hauntings, Conspiracies, and Controversies.Hello Poison Friends! It was still Spooky Season while I was researching for this episode, so we are still on this spooky stuff! This week, I want to talk about a controversial couple who claimed to be self taught demonologists and paranormal experts. Ed and Lorraine Warren are famous for investigating such hauntings as those seen in the Conjuring series, Annabelle, and the Amityville haunting. These are not the only cases they worked on, but it is their most famous. You may have already noticed, but Adam is not with me today. He is sick with a...

The Poisoner's AlmanacThe Candy Man: A Halloween Poisoning.Hello Poison Friends! We are less than a week away from Halloween and I did not want to miss a chance to talk about an old urban legend dealing with trick or treaters being poisoned via the candy they collect. Stories of varying characters and settings, but the same plot, have traveled around and have caused a lot of fear among parents and children alike. In this episode, we are covering a specific case that encouraged the "poisoned Halloween candy" myths to a new level. In 1974, near Houston, TX, Timothy O'Bryan was 8 years old when he ate...

The Poisoner's AlmanacVampires Pt. 2: Vlad Dracula + More Local LegendsHello Poison Friends! Lets talk more vampires! This episode we need to discuss the fictional Count Dracula's namesake, Vlad III or Vlad Dracula, who is also known as Vlad the Impaler. I am going to go ahead and include a trigger warning here for some violence and gory details, but I am including timestamps here for those who want the history while skipping over these more gruesome parts:36:00-37:07-- Violent/disturbing death mention.49:54-51:24-- Violence, mentions + details of death via impalement.36:00-37:03--Violence and more impalement details + Other mentions of torture...

The Poisoner's AlmanacVampires! History + Influences Pt1: Countess Elizabeth Báthory.Hello Poison Friends! We are still on our spooky kick for the season here and I want to discuss the history behind vampires. We have mentioned some vampire scares here before when discussing tuberculosis, because the disease did carry some superstition behind it in some parts of the world. However, the idea of undead or spiritual entities eating human flesh or drinking blood has been around for centuries. There have been many words for such a beast in various cultures and stories worldwide, so we are touching on a few notable ones that gave rise to the vampire myths...

This is a huge area involving the Blue Ridge Mountains, Smoky Mountains, Allegheny Mountains, etc. The North, Central, and South Appalachians for ease, here, as it runs through thirteen states technically. This mountain range is older than trees themselves, and now they are covered in them. The forests are old and there are a lot of stories about what lives among them. Traditions, customs, and folklore from the Native Americans, early European settlers, and those...

No trigger warnings this episode for gore or violence or anything too scary. Should any of our episodes this season involve such content, I will say so here in the notes! Today, I want to walk you through a history of curses and provide some examples of such. What is a curse and who came up with the idea? They have been around for as long as people have lived among each other and have provided them with an explanation of...

The truth is, malaria is just a huge topic on its own and instead of keeping you all here for hours at one time, we are discussing malaria in all of its old and new world glory, so to speak. I will be adding an extra bonus on our Patreon later this week that will be free for all for those still interested in West Nile/Zika, so come check that out there. The parasite that causes...

The Poisoner's AlmanacArboviruses Pt1: Yellow Fever, Chikungunya, and Dengue FeverHey Poison Friends! We are just starting to feel the slightest edges of Fall/Autumn here. It is more like “false Fall” as we call it, because the temps here will hit the 90s again before it actually gets cooler. I mention this, in part, because I love fall and spooky season and because I am looking forward to the demise of critters like mosquitoes. Mosquitoes are famously known as the deadliest critter on our planet, simply because of the deadly diseases they spread. We will mainly being talking about Aedes aegypti (Egyptian Mosquito) and the Aedes albop...

The Poisoner's AlmanacAntimony and EmeticsHello Poison Friends! We have discussed quite a few heavy metals, but not all of them. While we did mention Antimony awhile back, we did not give it the attention it deserves, so this would be a great time to do so. Before getting too deep into Antimony, however, a review on purging with emetics and the history there concerning the "rebalancing of humors" as well as the more modern "ridding oneself of toxins," is in order. One emetic that is more recent in our history is Ipecac. Technically, or medicinally, it went by the name Syrup...

I know, the Autumnal Equinox won't be here until next month, but I am excited for Fall and spooky season and cooler weather. The one thing I do not like this time of year is the amount of viral and bacterial infections that seem to wage war on us all. One such bacterial agent is Streptococcus pyogenes or what you may hear called Group A Strep. This is the nasty that causes impetigo and strep throat (streptococcus pharyngitis) which can then lead to...

We are going over more wellness products and practices that have been used and promoted as cures for various illnesses, from colds to cancer and autoimmune diseases. In this final episode on the Wellness Industry’s toxic side, we need to discuss some multi level marketing (MLM) businesses/groups that not only push such products, but also pull the vulnerable into financially difficult and sometimes fraudulent schemes. Two of these groups we are discussing (Young Living and doTERRA) deal with essential oils, so we are also discussing what essential oils are and what they are not. I...

Specifically, she promoted recipes that...

It was a week of turkey laden frivolity or whatever as Thanksgiving was this past Thursday, and I could not help but feel the need to cover some foodborne illnesses that can range from annoying and gross to deadly. Come on a journey through time and...microbiology? as we discuss, Salmonella, Typhoid Mary Mallon, and Botulism. It is going to be a little gross and a lot informative (yes, I realize that does not work well grammatically).

Different Spectrums Podcast ™️The Big Bang Theory: What a Neurodivergent Relationship Looks Like [ft. Adam Jones & Becca]Today, we’re excited to welcome the hilarious couple Adam Jones and Rebecca to the show! 🎉 Adam is neurotypical, and Rebecca is neurodivergent, which adds some unique and relatable insights for many of us.
We’ll dive into The Big Bang Theory and explore how Sheldon’s quirks (like not being able to sit anywhere but his favorite seat) relate to routines and comfort zones in the autistic experience. We also discuss how missing context clues in conversations or social cues can be challenging for neurodivergent individuals, and how validating it feels to see that port...

The Poisoner's AlmanacHumors+Bleeding+George Washington+SmallpoxI am honestly surprised this subject has not come up yet, because it is humorous....jk that was so lame. HUMORS! Lets talk about how "medicine" used to be and what philosophers and doctors (and even barbers?) thought about the human body. If you were sick, "hysterical," or struggling with "depraved habits," then the four humors (blood, yellow bile, black bile, and phlegm) were out of balance, you simply needed a good bloodletting. Where did this idea come from and how did it effect society? What does George Washington have to do with it? Oh, and smallpox and its...

The Poisoner's AlmanacGerms, Biowarfare, and the history of Anthrax.Hello, poison friends! Hoping you are well this weekend! We need to discuss the history of biowarfare and the agents that have been used both historically and recently. Before that discussion, however, we need to go over some microbiology and the history of illness (bacterial and viral), germ theory, and such. So lets take a dive into some infectious diseases (plague, smallpox, botulism, anthrax, etc.), where they came from, what they can do the body, and how they have been used in war and terrorism. Oh and we will specifically talk about anthrax, since it is likely more commonly...

We also have to go over their history and use in warfare and terrorism. Some of you may recall hearing the names of these too in somewhat recent years (yes, I am delusional enough to still call the 90s recent, let me have this). Sarin...

We are bringing y'all two requested poison topics and learning how too much of a good thing can be deadly. That being said, don't eat too much candy this weekend, spooky friends.
Fluoride has been a controversial topic as it is included in the water supply in many places to prevent dental problems. Lets discuss how it does this and at what point ingesting fluoride can be a problem. Also, insulin is a very important hormone in your body and some need to have it...

Let's discuss how poisons have influenced and played an important role in various spiritual and witchy ways. We are bringing witches and witch trials back up to discuss the once popular idea of Flying Ointment (or Witches Ointment), its possible ingredients, and its proposed effects on the body and soul (according to those accusing others of witchcraft). We are also talking about goofer dust (commonly heard within voodoo/hoodoo/root working practices) and how it has been used historically and modernly. Root doctors are...

We will discuss some of the people we mentioned in the previous episode and what became of them as well as what happened to Pripyat its residents. That radioactive cloud that arose from the destroyed reactor 4? Yeah it traveled and it was not until radiation was picked up by Denmark, Finland, and especially Sweden that the rest of the world began to realize something...

And we can't have this episode without discussing what happened at Chernobyl and the surrounding city of Pripyat. This will be a 2 parter because of the amount of info surrounding the latter, but it is gonna be wild. Also, come follow us on socials and feel free to reach...

We are tackling alcohol (ethanol vs methyl alcohol) and the Prohibition of the 1920s/30s in the US. Alcohol is a toxin and we can't not discuss its effects on the body and on culture as well as the effects of methyl/wood alcohol which blinded and killed many during the Prohibition. Also, come learn how the American government was involved in the poisoning of its citizens during this time (seriously big oops). Obviously, the making and drinking of alcoholic beverages...

Lets go back in time on this Friday 13th (we recorded yesterday lol so technically it was Friday 13 then) so we can pull apart some long believed myths concerning the involvement of a few powerful families and poisons (among other accusations). I do love a good history lesson and these are a wild ride through rumors of witchcraft and poisoning, toxic relationships, religious wars, and murder. I will be making mentions of a lot of Henry's and Giovanni's (these names were apparently big in their time) and...

The Poisoner's AlmanacFood Adulteration & The Poisoner's Squad.Poison friends! Today's episode is all about food adulteration (drinks and some medicine/supplements as well) that was taking place in the 1800s-early 1900s (even some more recent scandals). My biggest source for this episode was Deborah Blum's The Poison Squad, which I highly recommend (her other book, The Poisoner's Handbook is also great). It follows scientists (namely one, Dr. Harvey Wiley) and their allies in the fight to protect consumers from food processors and corporations who were more concerned with saving money than protecting the people they sold to. We will discuss the toxic preservatives, disgusting additives, and...

I wanted to discuss a little bit about how addictive substances effect the brain/body, especially some specific ones I know you've heard of as well as a few more lesser known substances found in various cultures around the world. Trigger warning for addiction (we are discussing cocaine and nicotine--as found in tobacco products but also pure nicotine as a poison. I find the history of these plants fascinating and I hope you will as well. So lets dive in and "chew"...

The Poisoner's AlmanacAsbestos, CO, CO2Hello, Hello! I hope this weekend brings you all some rest. In this episode we are discussing some "miner" details of asbestos...okay that was dumb, but seriously, asbestos was once mined and used for the production of building materials and other products around the world (still is in some parts) and we just need to discuss the toxic effects it has had/has on the body. Also I feel like we have not given much attention to two special gases that can be deadly in their own right if circumstances allow them to be. I must apologize for...

This one is a bit longer than the usual episode, but I wanted to actually finish everything I had planned, Starting off with what was left out of last weeks episode, Colchicine. Then we dive into the wild world of anesthesia and paralytics that are known for their use during surgery/procedures but have also had a rough history recreationally and criminally. We discuss such famous cases as the deaths of Michael Jackson and Matthew Perry, as well as that of Elijah McClain, who died as a result of poisoning during an interaction with police and paramedics...

No worries, though, I will be covering it next week alongside whatever else we bring to you.
Anyway, veronal and a chemical found in visine (as well as other eye-drops...

The Poisoner's AlmanacRadium and the Doomed Dial Painters Pt3Hello, poison pals! Here is the conclusion of the radium girls and their fight for justice. Radium is only one of the many poisons that have been used industrially and workers rights to know and protect themselves are probably newer than you think. We also discuss a bit about how the cleanup of these materials is going and the effects radium exposure even in the form of waste has had on the surrounding residents of these towns. Radium while "beautiful" as Marie Curie once called it, is also deadly and its discoverer found that out all too soon herself.

The Poisoner's AlmanacRadium and the Doomed Dial Painters Pt2Hello poison-philes, here is part 2 of Radium. I hope you guys are ready for some drama inside and outside of the court as these girls fight for their lives and for justice as the radium literally eats away at them. Radium is obviously not the miracle people once thought it was and here we will review how it operates in the human body as well as it's history in industry and medicine. These girls's cases would lead to great change, though many of them would not live to see it. Also, Adam has more trouble with words than me...

We've discussed a bit about polonium recently and I think it is time we brought up Radium in all it's toxic glory. It had a unique place in history as it's discovery was thought to be miraculous. Lets discuss some of those who found it anything but that. I had to make this into parts as there was just too much information for one episode, and be warned: you will feel things.
Thanks again for...

Feel free to guess as you listen as well, but be aware it can get tricky.

For some reason, there has been the occasional ricin in the mail incident and of course we'll discuss those, as well as other terroristic/killer intentions (and spies! we can't leave out spies in this case). We also talk about Abrin (a similar poison) bc no one talks about it much and I imagine that would hurt its feelings (FOMO anyone?). Also, we mention Breaking Bad...and I do my best to pronounce...

Yep, you read that right. There are caterpillars that have just had it and they're coming for us. I mean, you could probably outrun one because they're not that fast, but what if it's a surprise attack like they dive bomb onto your shoulder from the tree branch where they've been plotting you're demise for months and on the way down they scream 'BBL DRIZZAAAAAY' and then you wake up because this was a dream and...

And it's directly connected to cyanide. I realize this could damage our collective impression of Kool-Aid, which is obviously the giant Kool-Aid man crashing through the wall at someone's house with an 'OH YEAH!'. But don't worry (your honor) we leave the Kool-Aid man out of this. Anyway, here's Kool-Aid Wall [crash OH YEAH].
