The Behind the Bastards podcast did a good (3-part IIRC) series on MKUltra. Well worth a listen.

  I hate that podcast so much. It's practically unlistenable. There's so little content and just lame jokes. I'm always surprised when people recommend it.

    You're surprised that people have different tastes in infotainment?

      Ya, it's ok to let other people like things. (My response to) Behind the Bastards reminds me of (my response to) the movie Fahrenheit 9/11. While I emphatically agree with his POV, Michael Moore's creative voice makes me cringe. Worse, I feel that Fahrenheit 9/11 is the coloring book version of the Bush Admin's crimes and misdemeanors. However. After watching the audience's reaction, I accept that Moore is right and I am wrong. He met people where they're at and showed them something new. Resulting in a greater awareness. I certainly could not have done that. Given Behind the Bastard's popularity, I know that Robert Evans and friends are doing the same yeoman's work. Which I appreciate and respect very much.

    What podcasts do you enjoy? It's definitely infotainment and leans more towards being funny.

    The MKUltra series was my intro to the podcast. I can't speak to other episodes but I very much enjoyed those.
