Strange Realm - Ep. 044 - New Year's Eve, 2023

Well we're bopping and popping on this New Year's Eve special! John Frobisher Smith and Dr. Raven Black celebrate the new year with an astoundingly auspicious report that El Jefe, once the USA's only living jaguar, has been spotted in central Sonora, Mexico. Quantum Computing is due for a reality check, say the experts, we take a look at the future of quantum computers and then we look at what will be entering the public domain in 2024! Then it is time to give our predictions for 2024. Finally, after the break we continue our reading series and Frobisher reads more of the paranormal classic, "Darkness Walks: The Shadow People Among Us," by Jason Offutt.
