Episode 145 – The Moscow Death Zone Hot Boys

Ep. 145

August continues to go around the world or whatever, all thanks to a purely arbitrary programming decision two years ago!


It’s Russia o’clock mofos, so you KNOW the boys are bringing their A-game by way of dragons and radio stations. Wyatt pays a visit to Lake Brosno, where a monster the size of a sand mountain (the SI unit for dragon volume) has been swallowing everyone and everything that dares cross its watery domain. It’s real! It is not marmalade! Jake then takes to the airwaves with a look at numbers stations – mysterious radio stations involving numbers – and focuses on one station in particular: MDZhB, also known as UVB-76, also also known as The Buzzer.


There’s no time for additional cute references turned into calls-to-action: listen to the dang old episode!
