  • Heliograph LIVE: Jennifer Fraser on how the "gaslit brain" rewires us

    Heliograph LIVE: Jennifer Fraser on how the "gaslit brain" rewires us
    Dec 4 2025

    Heliograph LIVE, a special feature of the Investigative Journalism Bureau’s Heliograph podcast, where we showcase compelling interviews.


    In this episode, host Rob Cribb reconnects with author and researcher Dr.Jennifer Fraser, whom he first met in 2014 while reporting on allegations of physical and emotional abuse involving young athletes in Victoria, B.C., including her son. Fraser’s experience propelled her into a distinguished career studying the neuroscience of abuse. Her latest book, The Gaslit Brain, examines how psychological abuse doesn’t just wound emotionally, it also alters the brain, eroding trust, critical thinking and resilience.


    In an age of disinformation, where evidence is contested and social media often eclipses journalism, we are all increasingly vulnerable to manipulation.

    Rob and Jennifer, dive into the mechanics of gaslighting, how it operates, its effect on truth-telling and journalism, and what it means for all of us.

  • Heliograph: Arthur Caplan on Can We Trust the System Behind Drug Trials

    Heliograph: Arthur Caplan on Can We Trust the System Behind Drug Trials
    May 9 2025

    In this episode of Heliograph, host Blair Bigham sits down with world-famous bioethicist Dr. Arthur Caplan to pull back the curtain on the shadowy world of phase one clinical trials, where new drugs are tested on humans for the first time in a broken system of incentives and lies.


    The IJB had the pleasure of speaking with the professor from his office at NYU Langone in New York City. Caplan, the founding head of the Division of Medical Ethics at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine’s Department of Population Health, dives deep into the ethics of recruitment techniques used by Contract Research Organizations (CROs) and discusses ways technology, such as AI, can help CROs prevent trial participants from 'double-dipping' in multiple trials, contaminating both their bodies and the trial results.
