Episode Notes
The Havana syndrome sounds like something straight out of a spy novel: Microwaves are being directed towards U.S. embassies, causing hearing loss, headaches, and, in some cases, permanent brain damage.

Guest: Michael Wilner, senior national security and White House correspondent for McClatchy.
