Published On: Mon Sep 08 2025
Description: This episode of Fringe Beyond Limits examines the Stanford Prison Experiment: how ordinary college students were randomly assigned as guards or prisoners, how roles and authority quickly warped behavior, and why the study was halted after six days. The hosts blend a clear summary of the experiment and its ethical lessons with casual banter, personal reflections, and lighter off-topic moments throughout the episode.
