From the writer of the #1 Podcast OUTLIERS and the new psychological thriller Podcast, GREETINGS FROM SALTON SEA. In 1961, at the height of the Cold War, an enigmatic CIA operative investigates the source of a mysterious shortwave signal—generated either by Russian double agents/spies and their handlers or originating from extraterrestrial aliens/UFOs, or both—and systematically tracks the source in order to disrupt the possible activation of a thermonuclear “dead man’s switch.” At the same time, a plucky young woman fights to rescue her younger brother—who has the ability to see alien “insect people”—from the clutches of ill-intentioned “government doctors,” while a dogged radio host in Dayton, Ohio uses his UFO-focused show to expose ongoing government-sanctioned conspiracies to hide the fact that extraterrestrial aliens not only exist, but are already living amongst us.

Love the writing

Cassandra & team have done it again! Engaging, not ridiculously obvious but interesting character development - mysterious. I felt like I was watching a movie. I appreciated that all of the character voices sounded very different, as many podcasts fail to distinguish when they blend too much and it becomes mundane. Not this show!

I really liked the demeanor of Swan - not too ruthless, mysterious, just enough information and just enough emotion/empathy to align with his purpose. .

5 stars! Hope there are more like this!

Absolutely storytelling at its pinnacle!

A absolutely intriguing story with twist and turn, it’s been a while that a podcast has appeared with mystery and twist done in nine episodes, with readers clamoring for more. The author is on pare with the likes of Stephen King and, Dean Koontz. Hoping for more of this once in a blue moon exciting podcast to rear its terrifying and ability to scary and test one’s resolve. Kudos to the creators of this podcast that is above the mundane so called horror podcasts that just can’t hold a candle to this new comer.
