#075 - Tungsten Checks In

Strange Realm

Tonight, we bring you a zesty, zucchini-filled episode full of updates and clarifying information concerning the nutrients of kale vs. spinach and on dumping lye into bodies of water. Then we hit on the news that scientists want to build an "Ark on the Moon," as well as startling new information we've learned about the materials Tycho Brahe was working with in his underground alchemy laboratory, and also we introduce another rune and talk about the meaning, lore, and symbology of the Hagalaz rune. 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.
