The Wow Signal ( and alien contact)

from inbetween stations · host David Hartley and Merki Ann Bell

Tonight on Inbetween Stations Radio, we journey into the mystery of the famous 1977 "Wow! Signal" and the enduring question of whether humanity has already heard from another intelligence. Along the way, we'll explore Boards of Canada's new album Inferno, the new film The Backrooms, and the series the 3 Body Problem, asking how these stories and sounds shape our imagination and possibly even play into each other—and the chance of further our understanding of what may exist beyond the edges of the known world.
