Strange World - Ep. 013 - May 14th, 2023

Tonight we have a fulsome and free-spirited show for you all. John Frobisher Smith and Dr. Raven Black return with a bunch of interesting news and topics lined up. Discussing briefly the XFL Championship and the sad news surrounding it, we then move to a discussion of the medical properties of dandelions, so plentiful this time of year, and how to use them easily and effectively. After that we look into the news that a company is planning on launching a new space station by 2025 and hopes to generate artificial gravity onboard a large, capsule-shaped satellite. Finally, touching down once again on the "Fusion Race" as it heats up in Southeast Asia. After the break, Frobisher reads more from "Darkness Walks: The Shadow People Among Us" by Jason Offutt.
