EPISODE 64 | Accidental Tourists: Interdimensional Travellers

Sometimes the fabric of our world thins out, and people slip through - either from another dimension or into one. So some people think, while others claim it happened to them. Come along on a trip through different times and places, visiting 12th century England, 19th century Germany, Spain, Japan, Mormon mythology and, of course, the United States, including Ong's Hat, New Jersey - site of the very first internet conspiracy theory.

NOTE: I use a less common pronunciation of the word "Scythians" because a) I felt like it and b) it links that word with "Sakaria" better for a listening audience.
