Strange Talk S4E14 Ep. 114 The Lost Aftermath of Halloween

This week, we’re reaching into the October Strange Talk archives to bring you a previously unaired episode—a special post-Halloween episode recorded during the time Alyx was battling a case of the dreaded lost voice. (Don’t worry, they’re fully recovered now, and their voice is as sharp as ever!)
In this hauntingly fun episode, Alyx and Creature dive into a cauldron of bizarre and thought-provoking weird news articles. First, we explore the unexpected question: could CDs be making a comeback in our increasingly digital world? From retro aesthetics to concerns about digital permanence, we’ll dig into why some could end up dusting off their old disc collections due to an imperfection in CDs allowing for more storage.Next, things take a spectral turn as we discuss the eerie theory that ghosts may “die” again after 100 years. What could cause a spirit to vanish from existence, and does this explain why some hauntings fade over time? Does it also explain why we don't see ghost dinosaurs?Finally, we leave Earth behind for some out-of-this-world discoveries—Martian meltwater has been found, and it could hold secrets about life on the Red Planet. What does this mean for science, space exploration, and the possibility of extraterrestrial life?As always, Alyx brings their expertise in technology and cybersecurity to the table with a practical and timely discussion on keeping your data safe in an increasingly connected world. Whether you’re worried about human hackers or spectral saboteurs, you won’t want to miss these tips.Tune in for a mix of the weird, the spooky, and the fascinating in this special lost episode of Strange Talk.
