He’s a former Canadian Football League player (yes, the hits were real), a TV host on Chopped Canada (no, he does not judge your cooking), and a former star of The Bachelor Canada (long story, limited roses). Now behind the mic, Brad delivers unfiltered opinions, sharp humor, and conversations that skip the nonsense and get to the point—occasionally with a side of sarcasm. He asks the questions you’re thinking, says the things you probably shouldn’t, and promises to keep it honest… even when it’s uncomfortable. Direct, unscripted discussion with recurring guests offering diverse perspectives—authentic conversations that reflect how people really talk about the issues.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-22T22:19:46.851574+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/no-bs-with-brad-smith-7712062"},"episode":{"title":"\"101\" - Stephen Kinzer on MKUltra, Mind Control, and the CIA’s Darkest Experiments","slug":"101-stephen-kinzer-on-mkultra-mind-control-and-the-cia-s-darkest-experiments","published_at":"2026-07-18T09:50:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/no-bs-with-brad-smith-7712062/101-stephen-kinzer-on-mkultra-mind-control-and-the-cia-s-darkest-experiments","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/no-bs-with-brad-smith-7712062","url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/CORU9649388707.mp3","audio_url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/CORU9649388707.mp3","summary":"Stephen Kinzer, Senior Fellow in International and Public Affairs at Brown University’s Watson Institute and author of Poisoner in Chief, joins Brad Smith to discuss MKUltra, CIA mind-control experiments, LSD, secret torture programs, and the disturbing history behind one of America’s most infamous covert operations.","meta_description":"Stephen Kinzer, Senior Fellow in International and Public Affairs at Brown University’s Watson Institute and author of Poisoner in Chief, joins Brad Smith…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1176,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/no-bs-with-brad-smith-7712062/episodes/101-stephen-kinzer-on-mkultra-mind-control-and-the-cia-s-darkest-experiments/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/no-bs-with-brad-smith-7712062/101-stephen-kinzer-on-mkultra-mind-control-and-the-cia-s-darkest-experiments.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
