Listen "Strange News: El Salvador Gets into Bitcoin, Watermelons on Mars and Sabotage on Trains"
Episode Synopsis
El Salvador may become the first country on the planet to accept Bitcoin as legal tender, prompting massive speculation about the future of currency and corruption. The New York Times publishes (and quickly deletes) a bizarre, fake story about watermelons on Mars. A catastrophic railway crash appears to be an act of sabotage -- and perhaps a hint of more attacks to come. All this and more in this week's Strange News.
