The Mystery of the Numbers Stations

Turn the radio dial and, somewhere between the crackle and the silence, a voice begins reading numbers. There is no introduction, no explanation and no obvious audience. Yet for a listener holding the right key, those digits could carry secret instructions. In this episode of Compact Mysteries, we follow the story of numbers stations, from wartime coded messages and the shadowy airwaves of the Cold War to the espionage cases that revealed real spies behind the signals. What do we know about these broadcasts, and which secrets remain hidden in the static?
