Strange Realm

On this episode we bring you a lazy and hazy late summer show discussing the strangest news we could find, including another update on the astronauts stranded on the ISS, a notice that the next full moon will be a supermoon, and news that 4,000-year old Babylonian clay tablets have been deciphered. We also look into the report that dogs can tell if you shouldn't be trusted, and a report of a hair growth tonic breakthrough. All of this and then after the break, we continue our reading series as Frobisher reads more from "Our Haunted Planet," by John A. Keel.
