This episode we discuss the night a Max Headroom impostor took over the airwaves of two of Chicago's television stations. We'll also talk about how this individual wasn't the first to perform a "signal intrusion" nor were they the last. We'll also discuss why this type of crime is so potentially damaging to not only the stations it happens to, but possibly to the nations they happen in as well. So join us as we take a look at the lighter side (no blood and gore this week) of true crime.
