Ep 43. The Somerton Man Cold Case....

Greetings Star Shine!
Welcome back Wonderers to another exciting Foolish adventure! We have a very special treat for you today, sadly not of the chocolate variety. Today we are taking a trip to the beautiful Glasgow Scotland to attend the now famous "Willy's Chocolate Experience"! If you have been on TikTok recently , or around the internet you may of heard about this off brand Wonka experience that left A LOT to be desired....
So grab your coat, your imagination and some chocolate (since they wont be providing any) and join us as we dive in!

Greetings Wanderers!
Welcome back to another spook-filled episode!
Today we are taking a trip to the gorgeous Japan to learn about Yokai! Yokai is, for lack of a better term, a catch-all term for anything and everything unexplainable. From the supernatural, to scary stories to keep your kids from misbehaving,to reasons why you should not throw away an object that is still useful. There is truly a Yokai for EVERYTHING. So pack some snacks, a warm sweater, and perhaps some tea to drink as we dive in!

Welcome Wanderers, to the Burger Kingdom!
Today we are taking a magical trip to the marvelous Burger Kingdom! Burger Kings version of McDonald's Land. However, it is not nearly as well thought out or as endearing as the lovable McDonald's  version.....
What do we mean by that? Well, join us on a magical carriage ride as we journey through the strange, and slightly frightening kingdom that belongs only to THE KING!

Well hello there Wanderers!
We have a longer episode for you today, and for good reason. We are talking about a couple of the lesser known Zodiac Sign systems! While you may be familiar with the Western Zodiac (ex. Capricorn, Scorpio and Leo), have you heard about the Celtic Tree Zodiac, or the Egyptian Zodiac? If not, please grab a snack, a warm beverage and join us under the stars as we dive in!
And to all those who celebrate, Happy Thanksgiving!!
