Strange Realm - Ep. 038 - Nov. 19th, 2023
Tonight we bring you -- an astounding array of entertaining and also sometimes troubling topics from all over the world, beginning with breaking news that Javier Milei will be the new president of Argentina. We then move on to a mini-discussion of Mount Chimera and the Chimera beast of ancient legend, followed by more biotechnology news about bioprinted synthetic skin and pills that can monitor your entire body and transmit that data after ingesting them, finally we mention that wasabi, the traditional Japanese spice, has shown to have memory regenerating properties in older people. 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.

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.

Tonight John Frobisher Smith and co-host Dr. Raven Black bring you tech gone mad! Silver nanowire brains, stealth drone bombers, and humanoid robots by 2025 are the bleeding-edge advancements that are decidedly less-than-necessary but we're getting them anyway! This plus we begin with the discovery of possibly the world's oldest pyramid in Indonesia. After the break, we return to our reading series and Frobisher reads more of the paranormal classic, "Darkness Walks: The Shadow People Among Us," by Jason Offutt.

Strange World - Ep. 035 - Oct. 29th, 2023
Tonight we bring you a pandomonium of pulse-pumping preternatural delights as we wind towards the close of spooky season, starting the show with a discussion of simulation theory and the laws of information. Then we respond to the news that the coming solar maximum will arrive sooner and be stronger than earlier estimations, as well as the fact that for the first time ever, mouse embryos have been successfully grown in space! Then we read about how sperm breaks the laws of physics. After the break, we pause our reading series to get super spooky and Frobisher reads real encounter reports from the Phantoms and Monsters website.

Tonight we bring you another full and spooky edition of the show as we move deeper into October. John Frobisher Smith and Dr. Raven Balck discuss how it turns out that the people who live to 90 and beyond have a different composition of blood than those who don't, how the atmosphere of Jupiter glows and its southern stormbelt is made up of pentagonal and hexagonal ice storms, and how the best caves on Mars are being mapped out and listed for the future of Martian colonization.

The Doctrine of Signatures - What Is It?
The Doctrine of Signatures is a major principle of traditional healing, medicine and herbalism: the idea that God has provided for us the signs within nature to know what to use to heal ourselves, that the signature of the malady will take some form within its natural remedy. Here John Frobisher Smith and Dr. Raven Black introduce the topic and give an overview covering the basics, controversies, and how establishment materialist Scientism could be missing out by denying the reality of this concept.

On tonight's show we bring you a fast-paced journey through strange lands as we return to the bottom of the ocean and the golden orb that was found there, a plant fungus which has managed to infect a healthy adult human, the plasma jet in our magnetosphere that dumps particles onto the Moon, and this all starts with a look at a haunted phone turning one British grandma's life into a nightmare until an exorcism fixed it. Finally, after the break, Frobisher continues with the reading series, reading more of the paranormal classic, "Darkness Walks: The Shadow People Among Us," by Jason Offutt.

Strange World - Ep. 028 - Sept. 10th, 2023
On tonight's show John Frobisher Smith and Dr. Raven Black bring you a compelling compilation of this week's weirdest news and wildest reports. We take a look at a Greenland shark found in Carribean waters, a mysterious "golden egg" found at the bottom of the ocean near Alaska, a human "embryo model" that was grown successfully for the first time, which mimics a 14-day old embryo and is made from hyman stem cells, and then onto reports of a "supercapacitor" cement produced by engineers at MIT, promising a future where your house has its own battery built into the very foundation. All this, and then, after the break, Frobisher continues with the reading series, reading more of the paranormal classic, "Darkness Walks: The Shadow People Among Us," by Jason Offutt.

Strange World - Ep. 024 - August 14, 2023
Tonight we have a intriguing show lined up for you, first off with BREAKING NEWS that a lioness had broken out of a private animal farm in South Korea. Fall planting time is just around the corner as well, and next year NASA is going to send AI rovers to the moon to try and get them to explore it on their own. What could go wrong? One of the brightest Gamma ray bursts ever from the Sun - the first time we've seen sun rays with energies extending into a trillion electron volts, was detected by an observatory. We also take a brief look at potential "carbon-sinking" projects to combat climate change. Finally, after the break, Frobisher continues with the reading series, reading more of the paranormal classic, "Darkness Walks: The Shadow People Among Us," by Jason Offutt.

Tonight we present an educational expose into the many moons of Earth and our fascinating Lagrange point objects. After this we discuss the news of further congressional hearings into UFOs/UAPs, then update everyone about everyone's favorite would-be mad scientist, Sam Bankman-Fried, and his prison-related future, then finishing the news roundup with a report of scientists successfully growing retinal cells on synthetic bioscaffolding.

Tonight's show is a second look at amazing inventions of the ancient world, talking about Damascus steel, Roman concrete, and going over once again the connections between the Islamic Golden Age and the Vikings. Then we discuss an interesting new archaeological find, where an elite Roman soldier was buried in Wales as if they were worried he would rise from his grave! After the break, Frobisher continues with the reading series, reading from "Darkness Walks: The Shadow People Among Us" by Jason Offutt.

Tonight we bring you a somewhat relaxed midsummer show, touching on the discovery of phosphine in the atmosphere of Venus, the fact that the solid inner core of our planet has "features" and an intriguingly irregular surface, and then rounding things out with a discussion of ancient inventions that remain mysterious to this day.

Is The Earth's Spin Accelerating???
Is our planet speeding up? Or slowing down? Or perhaps, some kind of secret third thing?! Frobisher explores this topic and tries to break it all down while not getting to exasperated at the shambolic state of Science Journalism, in this clip from one of his rare solo episodes.
