Summary

If you ever stay up at night scanning through frequencies on shortwave radio, there is a good chance you might come across something very odd and kind of creepy. You will find a station that is nothing but a disembodied voice reading off a seemingly random string of numbers. There is often an identifying sound or song which is played on a regular basis before another recital of numbers. These stations have no call signs or other identifying information, and no one has ever publicly claimed responsibility for them. Learn more about numbers stations, what they are, and how they work on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
