Strange Realm - Ep. 049 - Feb. 4th, 2024
Tonight we bring you a homespun and hopeful episode as we anticipate an early spring and discuss the strangest things of the week, including blood-powered batteries, glass transformed into semiconducting materials via laser light like out of some alchemical fable, a report that AI is busy decoding the language of the chickens, as well as news of a miraculous accidental discovery that turned regular seedlings into super-plants! 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.
