 The Message (Podcast)
comment
In the 1940s, humanity received a transmission from an unknown extraterrestrial source. Called "The Message", this transmission was classified and given to the US government's best codebreakers, who were unable to decipher it. Numerous odd but seemingly unrelated fatalities occurred during the attempt, however, leading to internal rumors of a "curse" on The Message.Fast forward to 2015. The Message has been suddenly declassified by the CIA to the Cypher Centers For Communications, a famously effective, private team of audio scientists. They ask eager podcaster Nicky Tomalin to create a publicly-available account of their research, which she dubs "Cyphercast".Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })An interesting thing to note about the podcast is that the plot picks up very quickly - expect to find yourself marathoning it by episode 3.

Abusive Precursors: Lampshaded by Mod when they finally figure out that the "message" the aliens wanted to send us was a cure. Specifically a cure for the very same disease they sent in the very same message.

Brown Note: The curse. Rumor is that people who listen to The Message become ill and die, like in one case where the only non-smoker in a research group developed lung problems. It's real, and it's contagious, meaning it can spread to people that haven't listened to it.

Apocalyptic Log: The podcast itself threatens this at times, especially when the Brown Note starts setting in.
