Episode description
Do rats go to heaven? The answer is yes, but it’s not as nice as you might think!
Corry tells the story of John B Calhoun, a man who ran massive, years long experiments on rats and mice to really see what made them tick. Turns out rats and humans aren’t as different as we expected.
