Marty Griffin and Wendy Bell

Here are the weirdest space stories we covered in 2025.

We're rounding up the weirdest stories of 2025. In this episode, the top of the top -- Colossal Biosciences' work to bring back extinct animals, the rapture that never came and a possible break in the D.B. Cooper case.

This week, we're focusing on the murders of Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner last Sunday in their Brentwood home. Their son, 32-year-old Nick Reiner, has been arrested for the slayings. This case is still developing, but it has brought questions and concerns about what exactly happened and what, if anything, could have been done to prevent it. Audacy stations around the country grappled with those questions this week with the help of experts, and that's what we'll be covering here.
