November 22, 1987. TV watchers all across the Chicago area tuned into the WGN and WTTW television stations as they watched their regular scheduled programming. All seemed to be going as normal, until a bizarre and unsettling feed came over the airwaves, and that which was seen could never be unseen.

Join Kyle and Nate as they talk about the infamous Max Headroom Incident, America’s most famous case of broadcast hijacking in history.

Who did this, how did they do it, and why?
