Welcome to 69th Contact, the official, ongoing documentation of intelligent life's first encounter with the extraterrestrials known as human beings.

​

Presented as a weekly serial podcast, the story follows humanity’s first contact with intelligent alien life and the spectacularly human mistakes that follow. Earthlings respond with panic, ego, bureaucracy, bad decisions, and communications disasters, leaving the aliens increasingly concerned about who exactly they’ve made contact with. As the situation spirals further out of control, humanity slowly realizes it may not have been emotionally, politically, or technologically prepared for the most important moment in human history.
