概要

During World War II, a strange message began appearing wherever Allied troops landed. “Kilroy was here.”

From sealed ship compartments to newly captured enemy bunkers, the phrase seemed to show up everywhere, sometimes before soldiers even arrived.

In this episode, Robin and Chris explore the likely origin of Kilroy, the Massachusetts shipyard inspector often credited with starting it all, how the doodle spread across Europe and the Pacific, and why it became one of the most iconic pieces of wartime folklore.

Was Kilroy a real man, a shared joke, psychological warfare, or the world’s first viral meme?

Join us as we uncover the story behind the legend and why, decades later, Kilroy still feels strangely present.
