Strange Realm - Ep. 082 - Oct. 7th, 2024

Tonight we bring you an unseasonably warm eary autumn show as we take a look at the strangest news of the week, including new proof that the so-called Hubble constant is in tension, news that NASA wants to grow mushroom houses on the moon, a man who has been imprisoned for cloning giant sheep, and we check out the news that Antarctica is quickly turning into a green paradise! 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.
