I’ve always been interested in three psychology experiments that study human behavior. They are the Asch Experiment, the Milgram Experiment, and the Stanford Prison Experiment. Dave Brodbeck joins me to actually about the field that he actually teaches (he also teaches statistics, which we’ve discussed) at Algoma University is Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. We also discuss how the latter two of these experiments shaped research ethics today.

ISC Classic 22: Gene Ray And Time Cube
Brent the Closet Geek joins me to talk about a bizarre, early internet conspiracy known as Time Cube. It was introduced to the internet by Gene Ray, but he was apparently handing out pamphlets around town prior to that. It has endured the test of time and continues to be referenced on Reddit.

ISC Classic 31: UFO Hoaxes
This time around, DocPinko Steve Cloutier joins me to discuss famous UFO hoaxes. These are not mistaken sightings, but bona fide UFO stories meant to fool people into believing.
ISC Classic 30: A UFO Primer
In this episode, Steve Cloutier joins me to start a discussion about the phenomena of UFOs and their place in our culture. This is sort of an overview, but we will eventually be back to discuss more on this topic.
ISC Classic 29: Pillows and Regret
On this episode, Oliver Rockside joins me to talk about a controversial figure in the American politics.
ISC Classic 28: AlienCG Exposed
I used to be somewhat of a conspiracy theorist. I believed primarily in the alien coverup from the 1940s and believed that we were put on this planet until we could rejoin the rest of the alien community peaceably. Heavy D joined me as we also discuss woo and the conversation goes a bit off the rails for a little while.
ISC Classic 27: So You Wanna Build A Bunker?
Penelope joins me to discuss a group of people known as Sovereign Citizens. Their ideas and tactics are bananapants, but they can get violent and insane.
ISC Classic 26: Listening to Experts
In this episode, Dr. Steve Cloutier joins me to discuss why people tend to listen more to celebrities than to people who are experts in fields being discussed. We also meander off-topic as is custom on this podcast.
ISC Classic 25: Holy Love Ministries
Stephanie joins me for a discussion about a church in our neck of the woods called Holy Love Ministries. It is here that you can apparently see visions of the Virgin Mary and possibly even Jesus. There’s good stuff about this church and not-so-good stuff and we try to maintain a neutral position. We can also say that this isn’t a cult.
