    This week, we’re going to go down the rabbit hole in New Orleans with the Magical Krewe of MadHatters.

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.
