Strange Realm - Ep. 066 - June 2nd, 2024
On tonight's show we bring you pleasant and pragmatic look at some of the strangest things that came across the news wires this week, including news that Boeing's maiden manned Starliner flight has been delayed once again, living braincell computers are being grown and enslaved by a company named FinalSpark, a gang of rowdy Orca teens are behind the recent few years of boat attacks by the killer whales, and veterans who served on the government top secret black site Area 52 are unable to receive medical compensation for numerous problems related to nuclear weapons test exposure due to the fact the military denies it exists. 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.

Strange Realm - Ep. 065 - May 26th, 2024
On tonight's show we bring you an enigmatic but easy-going look at the week's strangest stories Frobisher Smith and Raven Black could dig up. Including a "spectacular" planetary alignment coming soon in the night sky, the lowdown on why some animals are shrinking, and try to take a look at the "tauonium," a new tiny atom-like structure with a possibly big future! 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.

Strange Realm - Ep. 064 - May 20th, 2024
Tonight we bring you an shambolic yet satisfying look into this week's strangest and most interesting news we could find, a big panel of weird science this week -- including how our universe may be shaped like a donut, how there is almost definitely an underground ocean on Saturn's moon Titan (likely mostly water), how the rock samples of Mars are apparently extremely hard to retrieve and will take decades to return to us on Earth, and a breakthrough in the prdoction of Silicon-28, needed to make high-quality quantum computers, has been made! 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.

Frobisher is absorbed by Xoanon into the Experience Tube!
Oh mah gawd! What a grisly video! Frobisher Smith is absorbed through the video stream by the quantum axion telemetry ray of Xoanon, the Galaxy's most powerful supercomputer! He might just not make it out of this one, folks!

On tonight's show we bring you an intriguing and ionized episode as we briefly discuss the solar storm, as well as take a look at news that the world's first Neuralink has run into a problem and may now have a reduced functionality for its user, whereas it seems that fruit flies infected with a bacteria that grows in their brain have better memories than those uninfected. In bio-engineering news, a new AI platform has been developed which can design CRISPR proteins not found in nature, promising bespoke gene therapies in the future, and also it seems China may have inadvertently heated up the ocean while trying to reduce their air pollution. 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.

On tonight's show we bring you an overcast yet outstanding episode as we look at why Orthodox Easter seems so late this year, a seemingly very mundane UFO alien encounter video, an update on the newly found language quoted within ancient Hittite stone tablet records, and the news that "venting" does not release anger but actually may increase your anger levels, scientists. Then we turn to the mysterious luminescent properties of gold, as well as take a look at what might have cause the giant sinkhole that formed within an Antarctic ice sheet eight years ago. 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.

Strange Realm - Ep. 052 - Feb. 25th, 2024
Tonight we bring you the start of an all new season of strangeness! On this first episode of Season 2 we discuss the recent Neuralink implantee and his ability to control a computer mouse with his mind, the amazing new Super Disk technology that's like having 100 harddrives on one DVD, and then we go lower-tech to discuss the benefits of electroculture in beekeeping, and a rousing rundown of just how the Ancient Egyptians cut and moved all tha granite! All of this and then after the break, we continue our reading series as Frobisher finishes "Darkness Walks: The Shadow People Among Us," by Jason Offutt and starts into our next book, "Our Haunted Planet," by John A. Keel.

Strange Realm - Ep. 050 - Feb. 11th, 2024
Tonight we bring you a jam packed jamboree of strange stuff beginning with the somber news that the NASA Mars helicopter has flown its last flight and is a copter no more, along with a look towards the probe of Saturn's moon Triton in about 10 years, then we report on news of Obelisks living in your body, mutant wolves from Chernobyl are apparently cancer resistant, and radiocarbon dating on wooden tablets from Easter Island suggests it's language is pre-European contact. All of this and then 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.

Tonight we bring you a homespun and hopeful episode as we anticipate an early spring and discuss the strangest things of the week, including blood-powered batteries, glass transformed into semiconducting materials via laser light like out of some alchemical fable, a report that AI is busy decoding the language of the chickens, as well as news of a miraculous accidental discovery that turned regular seedlings into super-plants!

Strange Realm - Ep. 047 - Jan. 21st, 2024
Tonight we bring you an exoplanetary exploration into the weirdest and most exotic things to happen recently as Frobisher and Raven look into the Jellyfish UAP leak, the possible coverup over the James Webb Space Telescope finding extraterrestrial life, the fully-cloned and all-growed-up rhesus monkey ReTro (aka the Damien Thorn of monkeys), and perhaps there is proof that evolution occurs along pre-planned lines and not simply by random chance. All of this and then 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.

Strange Realm - Ep. 046 - Jan. 14th, 2024
Tonight's episode is a big snowy look into this week's news of the weird. No NASA Moon missions for 2024! A UAP hearing with legislators leaves them wanting more, smartphones of the future might be equipped with a nuclear battery with a charge that lasts 50 years, and scientists have gone MAD and are growing and experimenting on mini-brains! It's a yikes from us, dawgs! 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.

Would You Open the Door to the Zapotec Underworld?
In 1674, a priest published his account of visiting the ruins of the Zapotec city of Mitla, and in it he described a vast underground temple with four interconnected chambers, the last of which featured a stone door leading into a deep cavern. The Zapotec believed this to be the entrance to the underworld, known by them as Lyobaa ("place of rest"). Recently, an international team of archaeologists announced that they found this fabled underground labyrinth — right where the legends said it should be. Frobisher and Raven take a look at this archaeological expedition and discuss the Zapotec temple in connection to other similar underworld temples found elsewhere in classical antiquity. Would you unseal the entrance to Hades?

Strange Realm - Ep. 045 - Jan. 7th, 2024
Tonight we bring you a gigantic episode as we look into the origins of the Cerne Abbas Giant, the mysterious chalk geoglyph outside of Dorset in England. We also discuss a study that says you might heal faster if you think time is moving faster, if Doctor Pepper can help you live to 101, and we take a look at what some say is the best and most real photo of Mars ever produced! 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.

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.
