Hello and welcome to another episode of No Such Thing as a Fish,
a weekly podcast this week coming to you from the Wilderness Festival.
My name is Dan Schreiber, I'm sitting here with Andrew Hunter Murray,
James Harkin and Anna Chazinski and once again we have gathered around the microphones with our four favorite facts from the last seven days and in no particular order here we go.
We're going to start with my fact this week.
My fact is that in 1957 America developed a shouting bomb that would lecture the enemy for three minutes
as it dropped from the sky.
When I get down there you're in such trouble, mister.
This was a very rogue one mention in a new scientist article,
I haven't been able to prove its existence outside of this one article.
Yeah there's no mention online at all is there?
It's almost as if I made it up.
I read also that apparently it would give instructions to the soldiers on the ground as well as the bomb came down you'd be able to hear what to do
if you're a soldier.
How really like run?
Why does it take three minutes to shout that?
No so what I couldn't ascertain is does this bomb go off or is it merely a propaganda tool so the idea is
that it would be dropped from a plane from about 60,000 feet high and then parachutes would deploy and then
as it was making its ascent or descent rather to the ground.
We'll edit that to be correct.
