In this meaty episode, Nick and Lindsay enjoy weather-themed cocktails and take shelter from the storm as they tackle weird weather events throughout history, including blood rains, manna from heaven, the Jefferson County Worm Shower of 1897, the Kentucky Meat Shower of 1876, gilt-edge worms, sky whale explosions, Fortean fog, and so much more! They also feature a freaky fog story told by a friend, and finish out the show with a rousing round of good old fashioned Draw This Thing, because if it ain’t broke, why fix it?
Many thanks to Steve for the story contribution, and to our listeners, for listening.
