Sodium, sodium, they showed from their podium!Jack, Lynne and Matt McFarland add another grain to their pile of salt with this week's Salt And Horticulture Pt. 2 on The Growing Season. With the level of ice on walking and driving surfaces all across the GTA the trio felt it prudent to discuss salt tolerant plant materials. Jack discusses an upcoming surgery.  He's a little nervous.Rising temperatures due to climate change causes our lake water to evaporate quicker, increasing the salt content in the soil.Sea Asparagus and Suaeda Maritime can live in places like Death Valley, one of the saltiest places on earth. Matt rants about boxwoods and that leads to a chat about how street trees react to an over salted growing environment. Salt Cedar leads to an episode of Strange But True. Purple Loosestrife and Hogweed join the chat. Correlations between wildfires in Los Angeles and Australia are drawn.  How can Epsom salts diffuse salt exposure. HYDRANGEA, HYDRANGEA, HYDRANGEA!  Also, SUMAC!   You know it.  Tiger Eyes Sumac is GORGEOUS. Are dandelions salt tolerant?  Beebalm, horizontal Juniper, daylily, rugosa rose and many more plants are labelled 'salt tolerant.'Tune in.

J. W. Ocker is an author and researcher best known for his work on cursed objects and bizarre-but-true stories surrounding some of the world's most infamous items. Ocker explores artifacts believed to carry dark histories, supernatural attachments, or extraordinary reputations—examining the blend of folklore, documented events, psychological influence, and cultural myth that give such objects their power. With a storytelling style grounded in historical research and skeptical curiosity, his work invites readers to question whether these objects are genuinely cursed, psychologically charged, or symbols of humanity's fascination with fear, mystery, and the unknown.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

In the summer of 1968, two young children, both under the age of five, turned up dead in Scotswood, a run down neighborhood of primarily government housing in the industrial English city of Newcastle upon Tyne. Initially, the first boy's death had been ruled an accident. But when the second died... they knew he had been strangled. And the coroner felt another child had been the one to do it. Sadly, he was right. Who would've thought a young girl, just ten years old when she killed her first victim, was capable of this? For Merch and everything else Bad Magic related, head to: https://www.badmagicproductions.com

Would you choose to have an identical twin? Someone who looked so much like you, that even your own mother couldn't always tell the two of you apart?  Someone whom friends and even lovers couldn't distinguish you from? Someone who experienced the world in a way so similar to your own, that no one else could ever possibly be able to relate to you quite like they could. Could be fun! But as you'll see... it could be also dangerous.For Merch and everything else Bad Magic related, head to: https://www.badmagicproductions.com

Johnny Ringo lived fast, fought hard, and met a mysterious end that still has people talking.IN THIS EPISODE: A gentleman gunslinger who could quote Shakespeare, Johnny Ringo was a mythic gunslinger who died a mysterious death befitting his legend. (The Mysterious Death of Outlaw Johnny Ringo) *** To his family and neighbors, Richard Kuklinski was the all-American man. To the mafia and his victims, he was the "devil himself" known as the Iceman killer. (The Mafia's Most Prolific Hitman) *** Wherever tragedies happen, urban legends settle. And for almost every urban legend, there is a road to take you there… a road often just as terrifying as the urban legend it takes you to. (Roads that Lead to Urban Legends) *** We'll look at the true story of a bar bouncer accused of killing his wife… which is odd, seeing as the incident took place before he killed a man while defending her honor. (A Broad-Shouldered Bully Was Wiener) *** Extraterrestrials come in all shapes and sizes if you believe what you see on television, film, and even online in the fringe conversations of UFO enthusiasts. The most famous of the aliens are usually depicted in the very realistic, humanoid form… the Greys. But what exactly are the Greys? And is it possible they aren't extraterrestrial at all? (What Are The Greys) *** We'll meet a man who has an amazing superpower. He is especially proficient at passing gas.

On September 13th, 1848, a dynamite blast rocketed a 43-inch long, 13-pound iron bar completely through the skull of 25-year-old railway worker Phineas Gage. It landed some eighty feet away, covered in Phineas' blood and brains. And after a few minutes, Phineas got up, started talking, walked over to an oxcart, rode it to the hotel where he was staying, sat on the porch and waited to speak with a doctor. Not long after the doctor arrived, he vomited and more of his brain fell out of his head. And he just... kept... talking... For Merch and everything else Bad Magic related, head to: https://www.badmagicproductions.com
