“Listened to this immediately after listening to VICE’s “Havana Syndrome,” and it was beyond worth it to start this story again from a completely different narrative style and far more access and ethical reporting. I enjoyed both, but this one went much further, didn’t simply elevate a spook and rely on them as a single source. Anyone weighing which one to listen to, choose this one. Although you’ll get something out of both, the other one actually plays the horrific sound so-called “cicada” sound for their intro & ad transition (terrifying), and it’s reporting is far from as thoughtful and thorough and honest as this one.
On this podcast, they got in deep. With whistleblowers, with all agencies, fact-checking, bringing in real experts to give their opinions, and they went to Havana and experienced the sound firsthand. The narrator/reporter’s voice is incredible. The sound design is intoxicating. This is the untapped power of podcasting. I could tell they cared about the victims, about Cubans, and about the truth. They pointed out problems with reporting on the so-called “Havana” Syndrome. The only part I personally believe gets left out of every discussion of the mis-named but very real syndrome, are the intentional placement of people who do no have the Syndrome (i.e. individuals like Trump WH staffers claim to have been “zapped” walking right out of the Capitol) used to discredit the very real victims. The cover-up is real. My only wish for this podcast is that far less time and episodes be given to the offensive “psychogenic” “mass hysteria” conspiracy theory that’s literally “it’s all in your head.” That part was difficult to get thru, and slowed down the incredible pacing before and after this weighty “devil’s advocate” twist placed in the middle.
I hope more people hear about this podcast. I thankfully discovered it while searching for the VICE one… and even the VICE one didn’t have any marketing, so I was lucky to find either.”

“I paid $35— thirty five bucks— to listen to this series, and now each time I attempt to play an episode I get “Something went wrong. Please try again later.” Well, “later” never solves the problem. I was a sucker, but do not make the same mistake I did— it’s a total scam.”

“Thanks to The Lawfare Podcast (which is brilliant) for introducing me to this show and the equally wonderful Jordan Harbinger for sponsoring ‘The Sound’. This is a truly binge worthy series. Enjoy!”
