A Criminal take on Milgram

This episode of the Criminal podcast focusses on the gap between Stanley Milgram’s published accounts of the obedience experiments and the behind-the-scenes reality of life inside Milgram’s lab.

In preparing for this interview I delved back into my notes and research materials and found that the voices of the people I interviewed about their experiences in Milgram’s lab were as fresh and vibrant as ever.

Some were traumatized during the experiment and for a long time afterwards. Some were sceptical and suspected the whole thing was a set up. But no one I spoke to had forgotten it.

Phoebe Judge and Loeren Spohrer did a great job putting this episode together. Follow the link and have a listen.
