Join us for the chillest episode yet! This week we talk about the permafrost in the Arctic, not your freezer! We start by reviewing True Detective: Night Country, the newest installment of the series that's set in a remote Alaskan town thrust into days of night and paranormal mystery. Then, we get into the real science of the permafrost and examine a few of the discoveries recently extracted from the ice, including so-called “zombie viruses.” And this is a special occasion where we celebrate both Micaela and Jerbil who both have March birthdays! Don’t miss the party!
Featuring Original Song “Math is Facts” by Micaela Superstar
