Episode 22: The Dolphin Who Loved Me

Today we discuss the bizarre, and ultimately tragic, tale of a neuroscience expermient from the early 60s, in which dolphins were evaluated and trained for the specific purpose of trying to teach them English. No, really.  Bizarre as it may sound, this experiment was bona fide, NASA funded, and had high hopes.  Until it went off the rails. Be warned, this is a very sad episode, like rock bottom sad. Thanks for listening to Goose Chase.
