Strange Realm - Ep. 058 - April 7th, 2024

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.Show more
