Down South Anomalies #114 Weird Alaska: Nick Shimmin

Weird Alaska, Nick Shimmin is an Australian experimental music historian, world traveller, curator, writer and renowned editor/subtitler. He operates a venue in Sydney for fringe musicians/performers (national & international) that is truly a philanthropic venture. Recently he went Aurora Borealis chasing in Alaska and so we decided to interview him there. Alaska appears to be one of the most predominant Fortean windows of high strangeness in the world. It has 11,000 islands and over 90,000 thousand square miles of wilderness. Constant U.F.O & cyrtid sightings blend harmoniously into this terrain with its long rich indigenous culture that often supports these claims. Aspasia & Jay candidly scratch the surface with Nick on just how weird Alaska is and its odd history as an American state.
