Welcome to What The Heck season 4! This podcast explores unexplained phenomena using stories gathered from various sources, then applies an academic research method to find theories and solutions for each one. So far, we've been unsuccessful in finding any concrete answers, but a few of the stories we've covered have been solved. Today, we're looking back to the year 2000 for a strange broadcast on CW radios. Named the Beacon of Hate because of its content, the broadcast repeated every several minutes, offering anti Israel and US sentiments. After disappearing in December 2000, the broadcast reappeared in 2021 for a single message, continuing the sentiment. It appears that this broadcast was an attempt to get people talking about the Israeli occupation of Palestine and the potential involvement of the US in this. The broadcast shed some light on an ongoing conflict that wasn't nearly as talked about as it is in 2024. What did the broadcasts say? Who is sending the broadcasts? Why isn't it more talked about? Listen in to hear all the theories!
