STRANGE THINGS FOUND IN THE WOODS

Some random stories of unusual things that people have found in the woods, here and there, over the past 150+ years. The stories are fun and interesting, so check it out.

Listeners: We apologize for the fact that the volume of the audio is uneven. Unfortunately, no matter what we did, we could not fix the problem, despite hours of editing. We we did not have enough free time to re-record the whole episode. Sorry about that! Also: When we recorded, Jim had a sore / hoarse throat, which clearly messed with his vocals.
