Episode notes
Our two amateur historians dive into one of the strangest wartime tales you’ve probably never heard: The Lost Messages of the Red Star. From whispered codes and hidden signals to the possibility of a Soviet prank gone way too far, we ask the big question—was it real history or just another tall tale?
Join us as we swap theories, laugh at the oddities, and try to separate fact from fiction in this bizarre Cold War mystery.
If you enjoy weird history, unexpected rabbit holes, and the occasional terrible pun, you’re in the right place.
