Edge of Wonder

From Chernobyl’s anticancer wolves to amazing, death defying incidents and discoveries of rare earth minerals, there’s a lot to cover on this Friday Night Live. The wolves that live in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone have developed anticancer abilities. 2.34 billion metric tons of rare Earth minerals were just discovered in Wyoming—and the implications on the world’s economy are major. Katy Perry got a miraculous or angelic sign from “the beyond” after her manager Martin Kirkup (who also managed Counting Crows, Tracy Chapman, the Go-Go’s, Adam Lambert, and more) passed away. The 2024 Super Bowl made history for several reasons, but Rob found another bit of Super Bowl history from the past that nobody expected … least of all those who were targeted in one sting operation. Join Rob Counts for discussions on all these topics, plus a “Dig Deep” Live Q&A segment followed by the Top 10 Weirder News of the Week in this episode of Friday Night Live.

Top 10 Weirder News of the Week:
