iHeartPodcasts has debuted a new original series, "Sound, Light and Frequency," examining claims that the U.S. government may have used Hollywood entertainment as a long-term vehicle for UFO disclosure.
The 36-episode podcast is hosted by veteran Hollywood writers and producers Bryce Zabel and Brent Friedman, who explore the theory that films and television shows have subtly revealed information about extraterrestrial phenomena over decades.
Central to the series is the hosts' account of an alleged encounter with a so-called "Man in Black," who they say approached them about using their NBC alien-invasion drama Dark Skies to disseminate UFO-related truths. The podcast expands on that experience while analyzing connections between real-world reports and portrayals in projects such as The X-Files and Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
Each episode takes listeners behind the scenes of well-known science fiction properties while raising questions about whether other creators may have had similar experiences. The series also examines how evolving public interest in unidentified aerial phenomena intersects with popular culture.
New episodes of "Sound, Light and Frequency" are available now, with additional installments released weekly on Thursdays via the iHeartRadio app and other podcast platforms.
