Summary
Over the past three years, American diplomats have reported strange physical symptoms after stays in both Cuba and China. And after examinations, individuals exhibited evidence of potential brain injury, without direct cause. Dizziness, nausea, memory loss, difficulty sleeping, headaches, and more, contributed to an investigation by the US trying to determine just what in the world was happening to their diplomats in these contentious foreign countries.
This week on The What If? Podcast, we dive into a story that delves into international spies, covert technologies, neurotoxins, sonic weapons, geopolitics, and a whole lot of mystery. What happened to these people? Can we prove it? And at the end of the day, just who is responsible for the chaos caused? Listen now. Find out. And laugh a little while you do it, with the Sweary Boys.
