25. Codetalkers

In this episode, we cover the Codetalkers, who used the only unbroken spoken military code in history with Bob Bot. The Navajo Codetalkers of WW2 are famous, but did you know that the Choctaw and Cherokee did it in WW1? Plus, in the story, we follow the Evil Ant's trail of clues! Oh, and Dan almost gets away with his original segment.
