Woo!
I am so excited to share that Who When Wow is back with a brand new episode available now, wherever you get your podcasts.
This season is all about history's greatest mysteries.
And in this week's episode, you get to discover the story of the Loch Ness Monster.
And to give you a little taste, I am going to share with you a sneak peek of the new season right now.
And remember, you can listen to Who, When, Wow Mystery Edition wherever you get your podcasts.
All right, play the clip, Reg.
I'm Rebecca Shear, and this is Who, When, Wow.
Did it work?
Is this, is it on?
Okay, good.
Hi, I'm Carly Q, and I am really sorry about interrupting your favorite podcast.
Seriously, I mean it.
I love this show so much.
I'm kind of a history buff too, and that's why you all are the perfect audience.
You see, I work here at the Bureau of Universal Time Travel Historical Exploration Division.
And yeah, if you're paying attention, you've probably noticed that that spells butthead.
Anyway, I'm just a junior analyst, but every once in a while I come across a time-sealed file that the Bureau doesn't want anyone to know about.
Ever heard of the Loch Ness Monster?
The Bermuda Triangle?
Bigfoot?
They're all in here and more.
I've made it my mission to learn more about these unexplained events in history, and that's why I'm going to do my own secret podcast.
Some things can't be explained, but they can be explored.
Check out the very first episode of Who When Wow Mystery Edition in the Who When Wow podcast feed on December 28th.
You want a little taste right now?
Okay, just have to push this little button here and flip that.
There we go.
Roll it.
It was cold this morning when I got into the office.
Colder than usual.
Something felt off.
But who knows?
Maybe I was just imagining things.
I work as a junior temporal analyst at the Bureau of Universal Time Travel Historical Exploration Division.
And yes, the acronym spells butthead.
Somebody in the marketing department has a weird sense of humor.
Or none at all.
Hard to tell around here.
I work in the basement office, which isn't really an office since I have the only desk, but it's quiet.
Mostly.
I'll send those files over right away.
And I get to work on this podcast in my free time, which is actually kind of a no-no.
So let me be direct.
This podcast you're listening to is a secret.
It has to be.
But you didn't hear that from me.
You haven't heard anything from me.
You don't know me.
But totally keep listening.
This podcast, I hope, will be exciting versus my job, which is often very boring.
See, Butthead has me down here cataloging random historical events.
They send me audio files from upstairs on little thumb drives.
Event.
French military leader Napoleon Bonaparte, exiled in 1815 to the island of St.
Helena.
Then it's my job to tag it with a case number, note it in the master file, label it in the database, and print out the report for my boss, boss's boss, and boss's boss's boss's boss.
The details aren't important.
It's Definitely not very exciting.
Except for when I get a file that's a little different.
Now, I know what you're probably thinking.
Monster?
What gives?
Well, that is exactly the question.
This kind of file is a time-sealed event where the details have been well sealed and sealed up tight.
The higher-ups don't want anyone asking questions.
They just want me to catalog these like usual and keep my head down.
But I can't stand for that.
I am obsessed with mysteries, and I need to know what really happened.
That's why I started this podcast that you're definitely not listening to right now.
And it's why I came up with my top secret plan to use the Bureau's very own time-traveling elevator to investigate the mysteries of myself.
