#065 - Shrinkflation Safari

Strange Realm

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.
