About this episode

Nick the Rat discusses various conspiracies and mysterious events while featuring underground music.

Nick the Rat Radio Episode 540 Nick the Rat is sick, pantsless, and on a mission. Episode 540 kicks off with a rant about Google Maps burying street names under business ads, a meditation on robot Frank and his box-flipping career, and some hard questions for John Stewart about who actually gets paid. Then things get deep — literally. Nick dives into the surge of mass whale strandings since 2023, the string of mysterious Baltic Sea cable cuts, NATO's Operation Baltic Sentry, and DARPA's real-life living sensor program that uses ocean animals as military surveillance tools. The dots start connecting in ways that will keep you up at night. Also on tonight's program: the 60-meter unidentified object sitting on the Baltic seafloor that kills electronics and breathes water, a Canadian-Norwegian oil company that found Poland's biggest oil deposit ever on their very first drill, a CIA whistleblower testifying about the COVID lab leak cover-up, and Jane Hanoi returns with a special report that is absolutely not safe for the lactose intolerant. Featuring music from Zillion Instruments, Nav Day, Free Beat Vault, Froggy 5, 44 with Dudley Boys, and more. Value for value — if you got…
