Strange Realm - Ep. 125 - Aug. 17th, 2025

On this episode, we bring you a back-to-school special of a show as we delve into the weirdest news we could find including a recently released photo from NASA of a possible fossilized coral reef found on the surface of Mars, we examine new statements made by Rep. Anna Luna of Florida concerning evidence she's seen of "interdimensional beings," we take a look at another fossil of a two-headed lizard from 120 million years ago, and we also see about a new study that suggests caffeine at night can make you impulsive and more reckless. 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.
