It’s our 10th full episode! In this week’s very special episode, Harmony shares the very tragic (and sticky) story of the Great Molasses Flood of 1919 in Boston, MA, and Haley dives deep (into the ocean) to share some particularly weird and interesting facts about clams (did you know clams have eyes?!).
