🎧🥰 My friend and I just recorded a podcast all about Da Vinci Code trivia

Did you know the US hardback has real hidden codes on the dust jacket? One of them points to Kryptos — an actual unsolved CIA sculpture at Langley that nobody has cracked in decades.

In this episode we get into:

🗝️ The three hidden codes on the US cover — including GPS coordinates tied to that real, still-unsolved CIA cipher

😈Why the villain Sir Leigh Teabing's name is a straight anagram of the two authors who later sued Dan Brown for plagiarism

⚖️ The judge who buried his own Fibonacci-coded message inside the 71-page court ruling on that case

The real, sealed vaults under Rosslyn Chapel — untouched since 1690

🎶 Dan Brown's pre-fame life as a failed pop star, including a self-produced kids' cassette and a soft rock CD journalists still bring up

✝️ The Catholic Church's actual response — they appointed an archbishop specifically to debunk the book
