In “Cover of Fiction,” Bryce Zabel and Brent Friedman explore how Hollywood sometimes tells the truth most effectively when it’s disguised as entertainment—and why that might be the only way certain ideas can travel without detonating careers, institutions, or sanity. The episode starts with a chilling secondhand message Bryce says an investigative reporter received from multiple intelligence-community sources: if you really want to understand the phenomenon, watch the German series Dark… and pay attention to its grim nuclear future. From there, Bryce and Brent connect the show’s time-loop paranoia, wormholes, and determinism to modern UAP theories about time, “other realities,” and why disclosure might be both too destabilizing and too complicated to drop in one clean press conference.

Then the episode turns personal—and uncanny. Bryce revisits how his 1993 Syfy thriller Official Denial became a kind of “greatest hits” of ufology (Majestic, crash retrievals, time-travel implications), and how the “cover of fiction” idea boomeranged back into real life through the infamous John Loengard letter and the Dark Skies mythology that followed. The rabbit hole deepens with Whitley Strieber’s Communion—including director Philippe Mora’s startling account of being questioned mid-flight by a man flashing a Defense Intelligence Agency badge. And just when the implications start to feel genuinely unsettling, Bryce lands the episode with a graceful reminder that even the hardest truths can be made survivable.

Has the U.S. government been conducting a slow-drip UFO disclosure campaign through Hollywood movies and television for more than 70 years? The new podcast Sound, Light & Frequency tackles that mind-blowing question through an ongoing investigation hosted by two Hollywood insiders: Bryce Zabel and Brent Friedman, both successful writer/producers with hundreds of credits. Bryce and Brent publicly share, for the first time, the full account of their surreal encounter with a “Man in Black” who offered them a deal to use their primetime alien-invasion drama series, Dark Skies, to spread UFO truths. Each episode takes listeners behind the scenes of iconic films and TV series, connecting what’s been portrayed on screen to what might be happening in real life—and asking whether other creators were offered “the deal,” too.
