Join Spotlight host Joe Kleon for a one hour in-depth look into backward masking in popular music. Backward Masking, or placing hidden messages that are recorded backwards within a musical composition, dates back to the 1960s. We will cover the history of this conspiracy theory and hear backward masking examples from The Beatles, Cheap Trick, Metallica, Britney Spears, The Backstreet Boys, Queen, Ozzy Osbourne, Def Leppard. Prince, Jay Z, Pink Floyd, Judas Priest and more! Does backward masking subliminally influence the listener, or is it all nonsense? Listen for yourself and decide, with this special one hour Spotlight, exclusively on Songcast.
