Somehow Ed and Deja were able to meet in person and record together in the same room while Kara lives on the opposite end of the Phoenix metropolitan area. However, it took them over an hour and half to figure out how to set up a microphone.

Thankfully Kara came prepared with an actual episode while Ed's computer kept resetting and glitching out.

In today's episode, Kara looks into one of the most critical assassinations in the 20th century: Archduke of Austria, Franz Ferdinand. We typically agree that the Great War that followed the assassination was a dumpster fire, the events leading up to the even is it's own special of crazy including the actual attempt itself, which barely succeeded!

The time as come to share the rest of the events that befell Robert Falcon Scott and his crew between January and March of 1912. If you have not listened to Episode 31. Terra Nova Fire, you might want to go back take a listen to that episode before listening to this one.

In the first part, Ed sets the stage for the world wide craze of being the first one to set foot on the southern geographic south pole. The men who explored Antarctica were next level, and humanity hasn't quite seen this type of breed of man in quite some time. Yes these explorers all knew each other and they were all competing against each other, but they carried a ton of respect for each other.

In this second part, Ed breaks down the details surrounding the fateful day (s) where not only did Scott lose all his remaining men on his team to the elements, Scott himself succumbed to Antarctica's other worldly temperatures.

But Scott's expedition wasn't a failure even though he died, the fact his crew of scientists were able to extract so much information that the results would change the world, is a feat like none other.

Go ahead and wrap up in 5 different blankets, make a cup of noodles, turn on the heat in your house, and sit back and listen to a story that will make you glad you never became an explorer.

After a brief hiatus due to Ed always struggling with editing software and a few temper tantrums, the gang is back with an episode like no other.

In this episode, Ed dives into the Terra Nova ship / expedition in the 1910s, where three men simultaneously work together and as well as compete to be the first to get the south pole. Part 1 is going to set the stage for what will result in 4 men dying in what is perhaps one of the most complicated and ambitious expeditions up to this time in human history. This is all because Antarctica is the most inhospitable places on Earth with temps dipping to -100 to -150 Fahrenheit and winds ranging up to hurricane class speeds.

So if you want to get to the south pole, grab a warm blanket and take a listen!
