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.

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!

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.

So we're in thick of it. Right in the fluffy middle.Jack, Lynne and Matt McFarland get real STRANGE on this week's episode of The Growing Season. Winter, in all its glory, becomes the latest focus of Strange But True. Penguins kick off the show. Their breeding habits and marital preferences. Their ability to withstand absolutely frigid temperatures and a freakish talent to hold their breath. A group of penguins is called a "Waddle." Cool, eh? Penguin clouds...from you know where... LOTS OF CLOUDS!Why has "Global Warming" been re-labelled "Climate Change?"There are lots of Penguins in Gotham City. Matt takes great delight in talking about Batman. Wood frogs and Walt Disney!? Yup. They correlate. Reanimating catfish brings Disney and Wood Frogs to an interesting conclusion. The lowest reported core temperature in a human will surprise you. Scary avalanche stories are highlighted. There is some real nightmare fuel here. Alive, the film from 1993, becomes a discussion point. "The Donner Party" from 1846-1847 is a story you probably haven't heard but won't soon forget. What is the Iditarod? Its 1600km's of sheer canine will. Bee's can "hold it" for absolutely insane lengths of time. Where do they go to the bathroom in the winter? Its kinda cool. Cryoseisms and their role in recent history kicks off a Christmas Eve story.

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?

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...

I highly doubt you have ever been conned by anyone to the degree Robert Hendy-Freegard conned his victims. This 21 year-old pub bartender, waiting to go on trial for planning to kidnap his ex-girlfriend, decided to start lying to some of his customers one day. And when they believed his lies, he lied some more. And he just kept lying. For years. And he convinced three people to drop out of university, give him all of their money, and follow him for up to a decade all around England, hiding from enemies that weren't real, and even lying to the police to protect a man who had convinced them he was a secret MI6 agent looking to expose hidden IRA members. And that's just the beginning of this surreal story. True Tales of Hallow's Eve 4. Hope to see you there!
