Apparently, I’m a terrible cryptologist. That’s what I’ve learned from the intriguing new podcast Codebreaker, which hits the Internet on Wednesday, November 4.
The new show, a co-production from Marketplace Tech and Tech Insider, not only offers a fascinating philosophical dive into technology, it also has a clever gimmick that’s part of the premise of the show. After listening to Episode 1, I can definitely say this new tech podcast will enter heavy rotation in my earbuds.
Here’s how it works: the 31-minute podcast contains a code or clue that is spoken during the episode. That code, when entered correctly on the podcast’s website, apparently unlocks the entire season so that you can "binge listen." (I say "apparently" because, having listened to the entire show, I didn't hear anything that seemed like an obvious code. I even played the episode a second time as I sat down to write this review—still nothing. I’m sure this is pure user error on my part.)
