Strange Realm - Ep. 137 - Nov. 9th, 2025

This week, we bring you an interestingly-shaped episode as we look into the weirdest and wildest news stories we could find. Including an update on 3i/Atlas, a possible ancient pyramid hidden away in the Amazon named "El Cono," news that bioethicists are calling for a global framework for regulating organoids in biotech, and we answer a pressing question: which is healthier - pumpkin pie or apple pie? 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.
