Strange Realm - Ep. 124 - Aug. 10th, 2025

On this episode, we bring you a statistically significant show as we discuss the weirdest and wildest news out there, including an update on Annabelle and her museum, another update (good news!) about the previously missing inventor of Plastoline, a report that says AI companies aren't actually making any money, a study that links low levels of lithium in the brain to Alzheimer's and suggests that a lithium supplement might be a viable treatment, and we examine the statistical debunking of the Bermuda Triangle. All of this and then, after the break, we continue our reading series as Frobisher reads more from "Beware of the Woods," by Tony Urban.
