Welcome to Scatterbrain Podcast Episode 143: Mel's Hole. Our main topic this week is a tale told by Mel Waters to Art Bell back in 1997 on Coast to Coast AM. It is a good story. An interesting tale.

The JWT is creating even more questions with new and confounding discoveries. Is the Earth hollow and inhabited? Is the Moon an...
