Project Azorian: Stealing a Soviet Sub

In 1968, a Soviet ballistic-missile submarine disappeared somewhere in the Pacific. The Soviets couldn't find it, but the United States did - and what happened next involved Howard Hughes, a fake deep-sea mining company, a gigantic mechanical claw and a ship secretly designed around one nearly impossible mission. This week, we dive into Project AZORIAN, the CIA operation that attempted to steal K-129 from three miles beneath the Pacific Ocean without the Soviet Union realizing what was happening. Then we play the Yap Yap with Magician Cameron Zvara! Did you know The Internet Says It's True is now a book?
