Episode Synopsis
In this episode, Nick recounts the true story of a young Australian man in the peak of health who, in 2010, ate a common garden slug on a dare. What followed was a swift and brutal physical deterioration, eventually putting him into a coma. But slugs aren't poisonous, so what happened? The answer will shock you! Then, Dave takes us on a guided tour of several fascinating and spooky exoplanets, strange and completely alien worlds that orbit distant stars. Could any of them support life as we know it?Merch: https://www.teepublic.com/user/spooky-science-labHosted by Nicholas Kaufmann and David WellingtonEdited by David WellingtonAdditional voices by Jennifer Dikes and Alexa AntopolLogo by Errick NunnallyTheme song "Phantom Fun" by Jonathan BoyleConnect with us on social media at Facebook, Bluesky, and Instagram, or email us at [email protected]!
