This week, we’re going to go down the rabbit hole in New Orleans with the Magical Krewe of MadHatters. While that krewe is focused more on beautiful costumes and rocking parade floats for Mardi Gras than rabbits running around checking their pocket watch like in the Alice in Wonderland tales they take their name from, another time of watch is looming over us. A clock, to be more precise. The Doomsday Clock. We’ll also head to the West Coast, where a mountain lion trapped in a San Francisco alley was freaking out residents this week. To round out the show, hear a more… esoteric sighting of an alleged sasquatch. Featuring audio from: The Dave Glover Show out of KMOX, KCBS Radio, WWL Radio and WWJ Newsradio.
