The Decline of Deviance

Ever wonder why we do things the way we do, or if there's a better way hiding in plain sight? That's the kind of question Adam Mastroianni chases down in Experimental History. This isn't a dry recounting of dates and battles. Instead, Adam digs into the strange, often hilarious experiments-both formal and accidental-that have shaped our world, our societies, and our own minds. You'll hear episodes that blend scientific curiosity with historical detective work, all delivered with a comedic touch that makes even the most obscure topic feel like a fascinating conversation with a clever friend. The goal here is simple but profound: to find what's actually true and figure out how it can be genuinely useful. New episodes of this podcast arrive every other Tuesday, offering a regular dose of perspective-shifting ideas. It’s a unique mix that lives up to its name, treating history not as a static record but as a series of ongoing trials and errors we can all learn from.
