Strange Realm - Ep. 073 - July 21st, 2024
Tonight we bring you a 99.9% believable episode as we look at the strangest and wildest news this week, including a report that there is definitely a cave on the moon that future moon pioneers can make "home base," we look at an almost perfectly believable photo of a young bigfoot, and the news that scientists have shown that mice who do not produce the IL-11 protein, something our own bodies also make, live longer and healthier lives. 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.

Strange Realm - Ep. 072 - July 14th, 2024
Tonight we bring you a small step for weird news and one giant leap for plant-kind as Raven's pumpkins are already taking over a whole corner of his garden. We also look into the strange infrared glow in Jupiter's atmosphere, which according to one theory may be due to the collisions of dark matter particles, as well as news about a stolen "Excalibur"-like magical sword, a recent study that estimates the amount of water a moonbase would need to use, and a new plesiosaur find suggests the Loch Ness monster is plausible! 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.

Strange Realm - Ep. 071 - July 7th, 2024
Tonight we bring you an awake and aware episode full of esoteric historic investigation as Frobisher Smith and Raven Black first expose the truth about Saturn's rings, then take a look at news that Japan has OK'd the development of chimeras to full term. Then we delve deep into historic landmarks of yesteryear destroyed decades ago, and discuss a secret mystery island once used by William Steinway's company town, and how the Steinway mansion has been altered from its original construction. 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.

Strange Realm - Ep. 070 - June 30th, 2024
Tonight we bring you a health-minded episode coupled with distressing news as we first correct the record on the recent Chinese Moon mission collecting soil from the dark side of the Moon, then we look into the alleged health benefits of the "superfood" kale, as well as how chocolate and red wine are good for your health while travelling in space! Then we turn to perhaps unwelcome news that Bill Gates is building a nuclear power plant in Wyoming, and it seems China has made a robot that operates controlled by a lab-grown "organoid" brain! 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.

Strange Realm - Ep. 069 - June 23rd, 2024
On tonight's show we bring you a mango-scented summer episode where we look into the most astounding news we could find this week, including an update on the astronauts now stranded on the ISS due to issues with the Boeing Starliner, and news that China has already analyzed the Moon rocks sent back from their Chang'e-5 mission and discovered a new crystal, dubbed Changesite. It seems the rivers and lakes of Titan are eroded by waves of liquid methane, and the newest development in sustainable energy is sodium-ion batteries made partly from lignin, a byproduct of wood pulp production. Also, it turns out melatonin is good for your retinas! 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.

Strange Realm - Ep. 068 - June 16th, 2024
On tonight's show we bring you an astounding and oceanic episode as we look into the dangerous heating of Earth's oceans and the many strategies for preserving the seas and the sealife, then move to another fishy story as a very frightening monster of a sunfish has washed ashore an Oregon beach, we look at a report from Harvard that suggests aliens may already live here on Earth secretly, and also discuss the concept of gravity without mass, an idea which erases the need for "dark matter." 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.

Strange Realm - Ep. 067 - June 9th, 2024
On tonight's show we bring you a brief but blissful look at the strangest things we could bring to surface this week, including Boeing's Starliner finally launching with crew for the first time ever, sending astronauts to the ISS, a search for Dyson spheres out there in the universe has turned up a few possible examples, a 13-year old has built a working model of Archimedes' famous ancient death ray, and we look once again at the world of the runes and discuss the rune Gebo. 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.

Strange Realm - Ep. 066 - June 2nd, 2024
On tonight's show we bring you pleasant and pragmatic look at some of the strangest things that came across the news wires this week, including news that Boeing's maiden manned Starliner flight has been delayed once again, living braincell computers are being grown and enslaved by a company named FinalSpark, a gang of rowdy Orca teens are behind the recent few years of boat attacks by the killer whales, and veterans who served on the government top secret black site Area 52 are unable to receive medical compensation for numerous problems related to nuclear weapons test exposure due to the fact the military denies it exists.

On tonight's show we bring you an enigmatic but easy-going look at the week's strangest stories Frobisher Smith and Raven Black could dig up. Including a "spectacular" planetary alignment coming soon in the night sky, the lowdown on why some animals are shrinking, and try to take a look at the "tauonium," a new tiny atom-like structure with a possibly big future!

Strange Realm - Ep. 064 - May 20th, 2024
Tonight we bring you an shambolic yet satisfying look into this week's strangest and most interesting news we could find, a big panel of weird science this week -- including how our universe may be shaped like a donut, how there is almost definitely an underground ocean on Saturn's moon Titan (likely mostly water), how the rock samples of Mars are apparently extremely hard to retrieve and will take decades to return to us on Earth, and a breakthrough in the prdoction of Silicon-28, needed to make high-quality quantum computers, has been made! 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.

On tonight's show we bring you an intriguing and ionized episode as we briefly discuss the solar storm, as well as take a look at news that the world's first Neuralink has run into a problem and may now have a reduced functionality for its user, whereas it seems that fruit flies infected with a bacteria that grows in their brain have better memories than those uninfected. In bio-engineering news, a new AI platform has been developed which can design CRISPR proteins not found in nature, promising bespoke gene therapies in the future, and also it seems China may have inadvertently heated up the ocean while trying to reduce their air pollution. 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.

On tonight's show we bring you an overcast yet outstanding episode as we look at why Orthodox Easter seems so late this year, a seemingly very mundane UFO alien encounter video, an update on the newly found language quoted within ancient Hittite stone tablet records, and the news that "venting" does not release anger but actually may increase your anger levels, scientists. Then we turn to the mysterious luminescent properties of gold, as well as take a look at what might have cause the giant sinkhole that formed within an Antarctic ice sheet eight years ago. 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.

On tonight's show we bring you a wide-ranging and ground-covering hay fever dream of an episode as we look at how extraterrestrial life might likely be purple, how the new supersonic spy drone from China is stylishly designed like the American one that crashed there in the 70s, the supercomputers that will help us land men on Mars, and then we examine the news of a nanogenerator that turns CO2 into electricity has proven to work in recent laboratory tests. 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.

Strange Realm - Ep. 059 - April 14th, 2024
On tonight's show we bring you a high-spirirted and highly-elliptical look into some of the weirdest and strangest science stories of the week, including China's new communications satellite orbiting the Moon, the UK laser weapon named DragonFire possibly soon to debut on the Ukrainian front lines, a 50 year old kind of battery that just might be the answer to scaling up energy storage, and a new study suggests Bonobos, the supposed hippies of the ape world, are more aggressive than previously thought! 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.

Tonight, we bring you a clear-headed and contextualized show as we retrace our steps and make corrections and clarifications over a few previous discussion topics, including the Egyptian snake-devil Apep. Then we move on to NASA's plans for a time zone on the Moon, breakthrough fusion records happening in South Korea, and a disgusting report about zombified sex-crazed cicadas infected with a bizarre fungus. 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.

Tonight we bring you a light but strong show as we delve into the enigmatic and poorly-lit moon lander photo, the news of a new 3D printed titanium alloy super-material, a study that shows the human brain pulses like a wash cycle during sleep to clean itself of waste, and finally we dip back into our journey through the Futhark alphabet and talk about the Ehwaz rune and it's symbolic and esoteric meanings.

Strange Realm - Ep. 052 - Feb. 25th, 2024
Tonight we bring you the start of an all new season of strangeness! On this first episode of Season 2 we discuss the recent Neuralink implantee and his ability to control a computer mouse with his mind, the amazing new Super Disk technology that's like having 100 harddrives on one DVD, and then we go lower-tech to discuss the benefits of electroculture in beekeeping, and a rousing rundown of just how the Ancient Egyptians cut and moved all tha granite! All of this and then after the break, we continue our reading series as Frobisher finishes "Darkness Walks: The Shadow People Among Us," by Jason Offutt and starts into our next book, "Our Haunted Planet," by John A. Keel.

Strange Realm - Ep. 050 - Feb. 11th, 2024
Tonight we bring you a jam packed jamboree of strange stuff beginning with the somber news that the NASA Mars helicopter has flown its last flight and is a copter no more, along with a look towards the probe of Saturn's moon Triton in about 10 years, then we report on news of Obelisks living in your body, mutant wolves from Chernobyl are apparently cancer resistant, and radiocarbon dating on wooden tablets from Easter Island suggests it's language is pre-European contact. All of this and then after the break, we continue our reading series and Frobisher reads more of the paranormal classic, "Darkness Walks: The Shadow People Among Us," by Jason Offutt.
