Strange World - Ep. 031 - October 1st, 2023

On tonight's show we bring you a spectacular start to the 2023 spooky season! We have our pumpkins up and quite a lot of interesting news - a new ancient language discovered has been discovered by archaeologists in the Bronze Age capital of the Hittite empire, studying mathematics at night has been found to be a good learning strategy, and scientists have finished mapping the sunken continent of Zealandia, officially the "8th continent" of our world. After the break, we pause our reading series to get seriously spooky and Frobisher reads real encounter reports from Lon Strickler's Phantoms and Monsters website.
