The Max Headroom Incident

On a quiet Sunday night in 1987, Chicago’s airwaves were suddenly hijacked by a masked figure who spoke in static and riddles. Two major TV stations were overtaken without warning, their signals replaced by a distorted parody of Max Headroom and a message no one could quite understand. The broadcast lasted less than two minutes, and whoever was behind it was never found. Fearful is a podcast produced by Media Forge Studios, and releases a new episode here every Wednesday.
