S5 Ep379: Cool Science Rundown & The “Well to Hell"

Kathleen’s putting her New Scientist membership to good use and bringing back Cool News Rundown: Science Edition! Then, Bethany tells the story behind her all-time favorite urban legend, the “Well to Hell” and the “screams” that came out of it. Plus, a crazy scary story from Kathleen’s friend and a reason to be grateful we don’t live in the super embarrassing 1950s!
