About this episode
Welcome back to another episode of Cryptid Cocktail Party! This week we are diving into one of the most infamous incidents in television broadcasting history...the Max Headroom Incident.
In 1987 a man hijacked live broadcasts in Chicago wearing a Max Headroom mask, acted like an absolute menace, AND got away with it. Its a wild story so be sure to sit back, strap in, and enjoy.
