Lost Wave: The Most Mysterious Song On The Internet.

Season 1, Ep. 11
•

Finding the artist behind a song, recorded from radio onto cassette in 1984 has become an obsession for many. A wild ride of spreadsheets, frequency analysis, rediscovered bands, fraudsters, meltdowns and endless dead ends. But this is just one of many songs that various reddit and discord communities are trying to identify, with varied consequences for those artists that are finally found. These songs are collectively known as Lost Wave.


In this episode you hear the story of the song that has become known as The Most Mysterious Song On The Internet, you'll hear from people who have been drawn into the search for it, and from the man who many believe played it on a cult radio show almost 40 years ago.
