Strange Realm - Ep. 102 - March 9th, 2025

Tonight is another astounding and educational episode as Frobisher and Raven look at all the wildest and weirdest news, including an update on the astronauts stranded at the ISS, a soon to arrive "blood moon" eclipse and its astrological significance, the world's first biological computer that uses real human brain cells is now available, and we take a little dive into the true history of Tarot cards. 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.
