Our newest episode comes just in time for spooky season! Randi brings us back to basics and reminds of the dangers of sex especially during American Colonial times. Karina covers what happened when John White returned to Roanoke, what he found, and what theories we have on what may have happened. We were so grateful to have a crew of new and old friends as we discussed the challenges of European colonization in this strange new world.
