This week, we bring you a horridly heady mix of an episode as we discuss the weirdest and wildest news we could find. Including a look into the mystery of the "Corleck Head" found in Ireland, the truth about medbeds, news that someone has clandestinely moved an old unused satellite to a new place in orbit, and we try to uncover the lore of who was the very first vampire as we move deeper into Spooky Season 2025. All of this and then, after the break, we continue our reading series as Frobisher reads more from "Beware of the Woods," by Tony Urban.
