Is this bizarre illne... more

  • Havana Syndrome is a tough series to review, as I found it simultaneously intriguing yet frustrating. The titular syndrome is a reported phenomenon in which sufferers sense discomfort in the form of piercing noises, dizziness, headaches and disruption to their nervous system.

    It has long been considered by believers to be a result of an attack by enemy countries, such as Cuba, though no evidence has emerged to support this.

    The series seems to try to be neutral and offers disclaimers and sev... more

  • Captivating podcast

    Bravo to the interviewers, writers, editors, producers, researchers and everyone involved in the creation of the Havana Syndrome podcast. This is a “top shelf” storytelling and listening experience. Captivating from beginning to end.

  • Great show

    I believe the evidence will show that the U.S. State Department's own bodyguard unit, the Diplomatic Security Service, is complicit in the Havana Syndrome attacks, probably at the request of Donald Trump, to give the administration an excuse to undo President Obama's rapprochement with Cuba.

  • This is Good, not great

    This podcast has a very bro vibe, the sourcing isn’t particularly deep and there’s a lot of reliance on off the record interviews. I listened to this first then, after reading a review, went over to The Sound, not expecting to be particularly impressed or learn much new. Immediately, I learned something this Vice podcast hardly mentions— the relationship between sound waves and weaponry. I’m only on the third episode of The Sound: Mystery of Havana Syndrome, and I’ve already met more victims and... more
