Acoustic Kitty Secret

Join Ben & Pia for a wild Cold War adventure about a very strange CIA project: Acoustic Kitty! This amazing story shows how scientists tried to turn a real cat into a listening device in the 1960s. It's surprising, puzzling, and a little sad — and perfect for young listeners who love mystery and history. Ben & Pia tell the tale with wonder and a lesson about respect and responsibility. Historical Fun Fact: Reported costs for the Acoustic Kitty project ran into the millions, and engineers did delicate surgery to place tiny microphones and transmitters near the cat's ear.
