Project Mind Control

Project Mind Control is a gripping investigative true crime series hosted by criminal psychologist Dr. Julia Shaw. The podcast meticulously uncovers the dark history of the Allan Institute in 1950s Canada, focusing on the harrowing experiences of survivor Lana Ponting. Through a blend of psychological analysis and historical investigation, the show explores the intersection of state-sponsored medical abuse, CIA-funded mind control experiments, and the systemic erasure of indigenous history. The tone is somber, academic, and deeply empathetic, designed for listeners interested in institutional corruption, human rights, and the long-term psychological impact of trauma. It distinguishes itself by grounding its narrative in expert psychological insight while maintaining the suspense and urgency of a high-stakes investigative documentary.
