If you live in the US, you've heard the tone before: a staccato series of beeps followed by an oddly neutral voice disclosing any number of warnings or disasters. This is known as the Emergency Alert System. In the event of an emergency, this system can save lives by immediately getting information out to the public ... but what happens if someone hacks it? How easy is it do so?

Customer Reviews
I don’t understand the hate
The hosts are getting so much hate for being political and letting their bias show but it’s literally their show. They can express their opinions.
Great podcast but....
Ben and Matt rock! Noel, not so much. The show was a lot better before Noel became a regular. Noel isn’t funny. Please get rid of Noel.
Fun and Informative
As much as I listen for the subject matter, I keep coming back for these guys and their friendship. It’s fun to hear how well they get along.
But really, the topics almost always fascinate me.
