Welcome
everyone to the second season of ‘Live from the CodeBar’ recorded from
the code themed bar of Fenwood Manor. I am your guide on this adventure,
Rob. For this Second Season the CodeBar is pleased to announce a new
partnership with the website Area’s Grey.  Areas Grey is a travel
blog for treasure hunters that features tips and reviews, treasure
posts, a forum, dedicated research and hosted treasure hunts!

After a few months off to
reset and refresh, I am pleased to announce that this season is going to
be bigger and better than season one with more interviews with treasure
hunt creators, more shows on codes and ciphers as well as a lot more
amazing stories and shows.

This
show is all about Polybius, the Man, the Cipher and the Urban
Legend.  From the earliest days of man codes and ciphers have been
used to communicate important information over long distances
safely.  The Polybius Checkerboard/cipher/square is one of the
earliest ciphers used to make sure information is only read by the
person it was intended for.  But who was Polybius the man and what
was the Urban legend that was spawned in the Pacific Northwest in the
90’s that used his name!  Listen in and I will give you a taste,
and perhaps, make you think of Polybius in a different
way.
