Summary
IN THIS EPISODE: 2020 in the minds of most will be forever remembered as the worst year in modern history. And granted, the pandemic and resulting quarantine, the horrible world leaders (all of them), the economy, Australia’s wildfires, racism, social unrest, and… well, you get the idea… they did make for a horrible year. There were also a lot of other strange things that happened – albeit mostly in the background thanks to the headline-stealing news items. We’ll look at some bizarre things that took place in 2020 that will hopefully take your mind off of the coronavirus, quarantine, and the bill collectors – at least for a little while.
