About this listen

In the vast history of media, there are moments that defy explanation, events that tear through the fabric of our regularly scheduled programming and leave us staring at the screen in disbelief. The Max Headroom Incident is one such moment, a bizarre and audacious act of electronic piracy that remains one of the greatest unsolved mysteries of the television age. It is a story that speaks to the power of rebellion, the allure of anonymity, and the surprising vulnerability of the systems we rely on. Exploring this mystery is an opportunity to understand the intersection of technology and culture, and to appreciate the human drive to make a mark on the world, even if that mark is a strange and fleeting image on a television screen.
