    Going down the yellow brick road with jumping tornadoes, underwater zombies and smart glasses

    Today, we’re putting on some sparkly slippers and travelling over the rainbow to the land of Oz. In this episode, we’ll get a preview of a boots on the ground from Audacy podcasters who visited the Oz museum in Wamego, Kansas. Before we do that, well also hear about “zombie fish” that sound like they would be more at home in one of Baum’s tales than in real life and a modern-day invention that’s making us think of the “Emerald Glasses” featured in the first Oz book. And of course, our Oz-themed journey wouldn’t be complete without a tornado. Featuring audio from the Dana & Parks show out of KMBZ in Kansas City, WWJ Newsradio in Detroit, KCBS Radio in the Bay Area and Own the Road with Kelli and Bob out of KRLD 1080 in Dallas.

    Presidents join the UFO discourse and new ways to look at death

    This week, we’re diving into one of our favorite topics, aliens.

We’re also going to get a bit darker than usual this week with some talk about death. Featuring audio from WWJ Newsradio, Tommy Tucker out of WWL and the Dana & Parks Show out of KMBZ.
