About this listen

Join us on a captivating journey into the astounding story of Genie Wiley, a young girl who spent the first 13 years of her life locked away in extreme isolation. In this gripping podcast, we delve into the tragic circumstances surrounding Genie's upbringing, the scientific implications of her case, and the profound impact it had on our understanding of human development.

Genie's tale is a harrowing one, as she endured unimaginable neglect and abuse at the hands of her own family. Kept confined to a small, isolated room, Genie was deprived of human interaction, love, and language. Her early life was marred by profound social and cognitive deprivation, causing her to miss out on critical periods of language acquisition and emotional development.
