## Resource

A strange new purpose for a historic site. We're back with an Odd News story featuring quirky history, underground secrets, and a bit of comic book villainy. Plus, for our Platinum Anniversary, we have a classic comedy clip from the vault. If you love unbelievable stories and comedy gold, you've come to the right place. Odd News: In Lieu Of Lair In this edition of Odd News, we travel to England to explore a bizarre architectural spot. And we wonder if it might be of some use to a certain well-known villain. In Lieu Of Lair, we'll explore the bizarre-but-true renovation of a historic subterranean space in the United Kingdom. It's an unlikely remodel with a spectacular, if tiny, new purpose. It may be the most unusual space you hear about all year. Spammy the Clown In a featured classic clip, we take you back to 2013 to catch up with America's least-well-known kids entertainer, Spammy the Clown. Spammy is off to get today's "Secret Word" from his dear friend, Magic Mirror. Seems simple enough. But things get a bit dark on Spammy's quest. Hear the Episode Ready to be intrigued?
