We're finally back (again) and crossing our fingers for no more kidney stone attacks! First we're going to Chicago to experience some of the finest architecture in the world - but we'll have to watch out for some not so fine stuff too.

Listen as we refer to Australia as "far away and exotic" and try to place it's regions according to (probably incorrect) clock positions!

First, a musical composer almost loses his money maker in Alaska while fulfilling a childhood dream of mushing with some sled dogs. Then, a creative young man sets out on a mission to find the “real” North Korea. This is a final boarding call for 2020! We’re sick of this year and everything in it! Join us again in 2021, when we’ll have more weird tales of tragic travels! Intro music: "Airplane, Seat Belt Beep, A.wav" by InspectorJ (www.jshaw.co.uk) of Freesound.org

War is hell...and so are haunted houses and the people who run them (sometimes). First we’ll talk about Myanmar’s very unfortunate ranking as 4th in the world for something you definitely don’t want to experience. Then we’ll take a deep dive into why haunted houses are way scarier than actual paranormal happenings. It’s Halloween, get into the spirit of the season with us!

First, Ashley tells us about a story about blizzards, trains, mountains, and a very unfortunately timed pineapple express in the Pacific Northwest (US).
