    The Lost Episode #119
    Aug 10 2024
    A message from The Curator To my esteemed and most revered Freaks, After months of fervent inquiries and rampant speculation, we’re ecstatic to announce the recent rediscovery of Episode 119 – a show that has become almost mythical in its own right. So, what exactly happened to this elusive episode? Its vanishing act has sparked a myriad of theories and much intrigue. Some believe it was snatched by an otherworldly force, with ideas ranging from mischievous poltergeists to interdimensional rifts. Others propose it was an elaborate hoax, a cunning ploy orchestrated by unknown entities, perhaps even extraterrestrials with a sense of humor. Perhaps the most intriguing notion is that the episode was hidden away by a secretive society with its own arcane agenda, revealing itself only when the stars aligned or when the podcast’s cosmic balance was restored. Or we may have forgotten to upload it. We may never fully understand the enigma of its disappearance, but one thing is certain: Episode 119 has been unearthed and is poised to reveal its secrets. Join us as we explore the strange and unexplained. Perhaps in time, we will develop the technology to unravel the peculiar events that led to its disappearance and the bizarre circumstances of its rediscovery. Brace yourself for an episode that is as peculiar and captivating as the journey it took to bring it back to you.
