This week marks fifty-one years since humanity’s most enthusiastic “Hello” to the cosmos — a three-minute binary broadcast known as the Arecibo Message.

In this episode, The Multiverse Employee Handbook explores what happens when a species armed with optimism, megawatts, and questionable messaging strategy decides to introduce itself to the universe. From the jungle hills of Puerto Rico to the far reaches of M13, we unravel the science, the symbolism, and the sales pitch behind our loudest moment in history — and ask whether anyone, anywhere, was listening.

AI Transparency: In a universe of AI-generated content, we believe in being transparent about what's human and what's not. Your time is valuable, and you deserve to know what you're experiencing. The narrator, David, is a professional voice actor who has digitized his voice through ElevenLabs' voice cloning technology and is fairly compensated for his vocal performance. Thumbnails are created with OpenArt AI, and music/sound effects come from Pixabay (which are generated by human artists). Everything else-the writing, jokes, research, sound editing, and interdimensional coffee consumption, is 100% human-made by a human.
