Hello Seekers!
Tonight's episode covers one of my favorite topics - Government espionage and conspiracy! WOO-HOO!
Specifically, one of the strangerst relics of Cold War Intelligence: Numbers Stations.
For decades, shortwave radio listeners around the world have reported hearing anonymous broadcasts where a voice calmly reads strings of numbers into the airwaves. There's no station identification. Just a string or groups of seemingly random numb ers, sometimes proceeded by music or a tone, and then....nada.
These broadcasts are almost certainly tools of espionage (and I want to know how to get that job)!
So, sit back, relax and get weird with us!
