The Milgram Obedience Experiments

This calm, no-music true crime and psychology documentary explores The Milgram Obedience Experiments (1961) — one of the most influential and controversial studies in human behaviour. Conducted at Yale University by psychologist Stanley Milgram, the experiment examined how ordinary people respond to authority, responsibility and moral conflict within a controlled laboratory setting. Volunteers believed they were participating in a learning study, but the results revealed powerful insights about obedience, decision-making and psychological pressure.

This episode follows the full historical context, including the cultural environment of the early 1960s, the experimental design, participant reactions, ethical debates, academic criticism and the long-term impact on psychology, research ethics and society. The story is presented in a slow, soothing documentary style with no background music, making it ideal for relaxation, sleep or calm late-night listening while still providing detailed and accurate information.

Perfect for listeners who enjoy long-form documentaries about psychology, human behaviour, ethics and real historical events.
