Introducing... Project Mind Control
12.04.2026 | 27 Min.
A shocking investigation into decades of controversial psychological experiments that attempted to erase and reprogram the human mind. Project Mind Control begins with the harrowing story of Lana Ponting, one of the last-known survivors of one of Canada’s most notorious psychiatric institutions, The Allan Institute. Her memories are fractured but what she remembers is enough to expose something far bigger than one hospital.

From the makers of Codename Badger, criminal psychologist Dr Julia Shaw follows Lana’s story into a shadow world of covert CIA involvement, missing Indigenous children, and allegations that orphaned and vulnerable kids were supplied for experimentation. This is episode one, for the rest of this series search for Project Mind Control wherever you get your podcasts or go to https://alwaystruecrime.komi.io/

Bonus: The Making Of Codename Badger
03.03.2026 | 33 Min.
In this bonus episode of Codename Badger, presenter Eugene Henderson and producer Andy Clark go behind the scenes of the podcast’s creation. Hear additional details from the investigation that didn’t make it into the main series.

They discuss how they first uncovered the story of John Cottell, the challenges of researching a case that spanned more than 70 years, and how they shaped decades of mystery, deception, and evidence into a six part series.

Plus, psychologist Dr Drew Curtis, an expert in lying and deception, explores how the falsehoods at the heart of the story were able to endure for so long, and why so many people believed them.
