Hey, strangers, I've got something a little different for you today. I've been listening to this new podcast called Redacted Declassified Mysteries lately, and it has been blowing my mind. The host, Luke Lamanah, has this incredible knack for uncovering these wild, little-known stories from history. Like, did you know that the U.S. government secretly brought

over former Nazi scientist after World War II to help advance military technology? Or that in the

1950s, the Army conducted a hush-hush biological experiment by releasing bacteria over San Francisco

without ever telling the public.

These aren't just conspiracy theories.

They are real documented cases that were buried in classified files for decades.

Each week, Luke pulls back the curtain on stuff like covert experiments,

secret operations, unsettling connections

that have had a huge impact on the world. The kind of stuff that makes you go, how have I never

heard about this before? I just listened to an upcoming episode, and it is absolutely fascinating.

Luke has a way of digging into these hidden truths

and bringing them to life in a really engaging way. If you're into that deep dive into the

shadowy side of history, I cannot recommend redacted, declassified mysteries enough. I'm about to

play you a clip from Redacted declassified mysteries with Luke Lamanna.

and took real pleasure in feeling like he was in charge. But outside the embassy in the

Iranian streets, it didn't seem like anyone was in command
