Apologies for the poor sound quality in some places. The cleaning program I use normally does a much better job of removing hiss without distorting the audio. This one wasn't as successful at getting good audio out of the recordings.

Subject: Bloody Falls From: Crash Monarch
Dear MU Podcast,
In a recent podcast, you mentioned the ‘bloody falls’ in Antarctica. During a recent ‘Beyond the Mountains of Madness’ campaign that I was running, one of my players sent me the link to the story about ‘the falls’. I immediately decided to incorporate the falls into our game. My idea was that a mythos creature was expelling a blood-like excrement, which was resulting the suspicious looking liquid. The creature I was thinking of is one that you guys talked about in one of your podcasts.
As the player characters were flying near the coast, I had them spot a strange land formation in the distance. As they flew over, they saw the strange falls. For handouts, I used pictures of the falls that I found on the internet.
Later, they sent a ground team, traveling on skis and dogsleds, to examine the falls. They found a reddish brown pool of steaming liquid that ran over the ice shelf, forming the falls. Around the pool they found many seal and penguin corpses,
