Strange Realm - Ep. 141 - December 7th, 2025

This week, we bring you a multifaceted and many-legged episode as we examine the strangest things we could find this week, including "off-limits" zones being established on Mars, a millipede from millions of years ago the size of a car, how eating cheese is actually good for your teeth and oral hygiene, and we discuss the ins and outs of the rune Nauthiz as we slowly work through the runic alphabet. All of this and then, after the break, we continue our reading series as Frobisher finishes "Beware of the Woods," by Tony Urban.
