This is Dom Bethenelli, the CEO of SQPN.

With a brief but very important message.

For more than a decade, SQPN has produced the Catholic Faith and Pop Culture

podcast that you love. We're a non-profit organization,

so it's only your generosity that lets us carry out our mission.

We haven't run a fundraiser in two years,

and that's why we need to ask for your help right now.

Please make a pledge of whatever amount you can afford to help us continue providing

your favorite podcasts, as well as exciting new ones we have planned.

To make your pledge and find out about the free thank you gifts we'd like to send you,

May we hear from you today?

You're listening to Episode 12 of Jimmy Akin's Mysterious World,

where we look at mysteries both supernatural and natural,

anything that's strange, odd and makes you wonder,

the claims and counterclaims from the perspectives of both faith and reason.

And in this episode we're talking about the secret Soviet Doomsday Machine.

I'm Dom Bethenelli, and joining me today is Jimmy Akin.

Hi Jimmy. Howdy, Dom.
