  • Episode 024: Ice Mummies / What Is Reality?
    Mar 31 2025

    In the Season 2 finale, Nick explores the chilling (in more ways than one) world of ice mummies. From Beechey Island in the Arctic to the summits of the Austrian Alps, the bodies of the dead lay frozen and preserved, including one "iceman" discovered to be 5,300 years old! Then, Dave examines the difference between perception and reality. Are we seeing the world around us as it really is? The answer will blow your mind!

  • Episode 023: Krakatoa / Io: The Death Moon
    Mar 24 2025

    In this episode, Nick takes us back in time to the eruption of Krakatoa in 1883, one of the most devastating volcanic eruptions in modern history. Not only did it kill tens of thousands and lead to unimaginable devastation, it also changed the Earth's climate in ways that still affect us over one hundred years later. Then, Dave drops us off on Io, Jupiter's innermost moon and one of the deadliest spots in the solar system. How exactly can Io kill you? Let Dave count the ways!

  • Episode 022: Jellyfish / Repopulating the Earth
    Mar 17 2025

    In this episode, Nick brings us back to the ocean to visit one of its most bizarre inhabitants, the jellyfish. Some have tentacles over 100 feet long, others have a sting that can kill a human being in under five minutes, but most fascinating of all are the ones who've achieved immortality. Then, Dave asks one of the most difficult questions in science: If a catastrophic, world-ending event was on the way, who would you choose to survive in order to repopulate the Earth and how would you save them? It's a moral quandary with no easy answer, but it's one humanity may have to face someday.
