The Kids' Code Podcast

Happy episode 50! In this season finale episode, Barnabas gives a speech about the evolution of cryptology, we play listener messages, and we share a last bit of history (about radio!) before we're out of time in the season. In the story, Bob, Cole, and Caw send a message...and it all comes to a head. With a twist!

This podcast just surpassed 5k downloads last month, and last month set an all-time record for us with almost 400 downloads! Thank you everyone.

In this master message episode, the series concludes in style, with a riddle! Of course, to learn the riddle, you'll have to decrypt the cipher.

In this episode, we talk about the One Time System with Emily End. One time pad is what we've been looking for from all the methods this season- the unbreakable cipher. Not only is it impossible to break without help, it can be used to encipher something multiple times. But it does have two weaknesses... Also, in the story, more investigation is done by the Good Spy Ring into what is happening at the police station - and something unexpected comes to light, but their sneaking around has consequences!

In this episode, we talk about the Beale Cipher Mystery with Dan. The Beale Papers was a pamphlet published in 1885, detailing a story that took place in the 1820s and 1840s about a man named Thomas J. Beale. After disappearing, the contents of a strongbox he left at a hotel were opened in 1845, revealing three pages of ciphertext and a letter explaining the ciphertext pages. It sparked a 175+ year long treasure hunt. This is one of Barnabas' favorite mysteries in Cryptography, and we already discussed some about it in episodes 5 and 11. In the special story, Steve and Bob bot go trick-or-treating... only to discover that they get something other than what they asked for.

In this episode, we discover the mystery of Cicada 3301. Cicada 3301 all started from a post on the message board 4chan, and led Cryptographers on a chase for about a month through some of the world's most complicated and interesting puzzles, until a few managed to get to the end. Then, it returned for two more years, finally with an encoded book that is, at the time of the release of this episode, unsolved. We're sorry, the song mentioned in the episode and supposedly played in the episode did not transfer, so you cannot hear it from us. In the story, Seth arrives to help- but he is different than what we thought. Finally, we share a couple other internet puzzle mysteries.

In this episode, we round up this season with a story about a devious plot called Operation Mincemeat, some spies including a double agent, and of course, the season end things. Yes, we we have a clever ruse revolving around a man who never even existed. If you thought that this season has had boring history, we can tell you that we have made amends with these tales. The story also goes wild, and we solve the mystery of the The Evil Ant and The Secret Society and  find their HQ, as well as (we hope) stopping the butterfly effect.

Today we talk about Codebreaking machines with Dan and Caw the Crow. Codebreaking machines, the stories of the giant creations used to solve other machines, namely the Enigma and the Lorenz cipher. I even make the bold statement that if it were not for some of these machines, the Enigma would not be widely known about (even to the slightest degree). And in the story, we are one step closer to the season finale (set to be dropped Jan. 29th), and we discover more in the Secret Society's HQ!
