Strange Country Ep. 176: On the Edge

Strange Country

Readers we are reeling, as you probably are, after watching events at our nation’s Capitol. So bear with Beth and Kelly because it will take a little time and interruption of subjects to get to the heart of today’s podcast- Flat Earthers. We want to make sure we all agree here; planet earth is a round wonder. Right?! Of course. And the notion that it is flat is well, pick up one of those well researched ham-hands books and see for yourself. Covefe. Or something. We love you. Stay smart, stay focused, and know you matter and have purpose. Even if these days it’s to listen to this world-renowned podcast.

Theme music: Big White Lie by A Cast of Thousands
