In 2021, anonymous user Carl92 uploaded a 17-second sample of a song that changed lost media forever.

The catchy tune sounded familiar to so many people. But for years nobody could find it.

Was it an unreleased demo from a major artist? An AI generated hoax? The beginning of an alternate reality game?

Everyone Knows That: The Search for Ulterior Motivesis a five-part miniseries about the history of the song, the theories pursued, the hoaxes created, and the song's shocking discovery.

New episodes air every Monday starting June 17.

Follow Everyone Knows That: The Search for Ulterior Motives on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon, and wherever you get your podcasts.
