Then Fraser takes us inside a 1970's social experiment titled The Rosenhan Experiment, with a bit of a twist at the end.

My favorite podcast EVER!
This is seriously my very favorite podcast. It combines the creepy side of history with humor and fun cocktails. I can’t imagine anything better! I learn something, I get a little creeped out, and I laugh a LOT! These guys are amazing and I can’t wait for more episodes!!!
So much fun
Jen and Fraser are great story tellers! These are stories I didn’t know I wanted to hear. They grab you from the beginning and you feel like you’re sitting around the table with them listening to their creepy and funny tales.
