podcast May 24, 2026


Background
share close

Zo is on a research project that takes him to the National Institute of Mental Health and while there he discovered their secret program of animal experimentation on rats, mice, dogs, cats and other animals. These experiments seem cruel and unnecessary. What he’s heard is that some of the rodents had gained super-intelligence and had escaped the lab. The scientists at NIMH has tracked them down to a nearby farm. There’s not a lot that Zo can do with this intel; he can only hope that the brave mice and rats can avoid re-capture and live a life free of pain and torture. These animals should forever remain The Secret of NIMH.
