Strange Realm - Ep. 078 - Aug. 25th, 2024
The Fall semester has begun and Frobisher and Raven are back with another studious look into the strangest and most incredible news stories we could find. First up is the final say on the fate of the Starliner mission Astronauts, then we examine an ancient clay tablet receipt from 3,500 years ago, we take a brief peek into the 10,000 year old stone circle at the bottom of Lake Michigan, and then look at news about the first-of-its-kind reintroduction of the northern bald Ibis into Europe, as well as a report that a Stanford trial of a brain metabolism drug has dramatically reduced Alzheimer's symptoms in tests with mice. 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.
