Strange World - Ep. 020 - July 16th, 2023

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. After the break, Frobisher continues with the reading series, reading from "Darkness Walks: The Shadow People Among Us" by Jason Offutt.
