Every tap of your credit card, every call you make, every street corner you pass under a camera – you're leaving behind a trail of digital breadcrumbs. Most nights, this data trail is meaningless. But what if it was the only way to piece together a critical sequence of events? What story does your digital ghost tell when you're not looking?

Welcome to "The Night Shift." In this episode, we embark on a unique thought experiment: reconstructing one hypothetical night using only the digital footprints left behind. We'll explore how investigators use CCTV footage, credit card swipes, and unseen phone metadata to build a second-by-second timeline of someone's movements and actions. You'll learn the surprising power and limitations of these technologies and confront the reality of the data shadow we all cast. How accurately can a night be rebuilt from whispers in the cloud?
