#116: Flat Earth Dave on the Globe, Antarctica and Space.
Today I ‘sit down’ with David Weiss, famously known as Flat Earth Dave. The conversation delves into the controversial and intriguing realm of Flat Earth theory. With a quick turnaround to bring this episode to you, I aimed to cover a broad range of topics to give an overview of Dave’s beliefs and perspectives. I am not a Flat Earth believer, I wanted to sit and hear what he had to say.
