About this listen

Hosted by Michael Wilson-Park, Scottish History Out Of Order is a Scottish history podcast with a difference. It realises that Scotland is more than angry clansmen, kilts, bagpipes and shortbread. These are short, intimate portrayals of moments in history, and the stories it tells are people’s stories.Copyright 2025 - Be Quiet Media | All rights reserved. Social Sciences World

  • The Scientist & The CIA - MK ULTRA & The Sleep Room [REDUX]
    Jul 19 2024

    It is 1959. You're at the mercy of Dr Ewen Cameron, his Sleep Room at the Allan Memorial Institute in Montreal, Canada, and Subproject 68 of something you'd never heard of called MKULTRA.

    This episode is a remake of an episode we first put out in 2021. The original will stay on our feed as it works in a different way to this one.

    CW: This episode contains references to and depictions of inhumane treatment which may be troubling for some listeners.
