27 – Six Snax Snake Snacks – The Great Cobra Scare of 1953

About the Episode

Snakes. Sierra’s biggest fear.

This week we talk about a Missouri town that was overrun by snakes. It’s just as horrible as it sounds! Join us as we talk about a train covered in rainbows, how all snakes are just giant worms, and the craziest snake-catching method ever used (probably).
