We live in Florida where rights are being stolen from us at an alarming rate. We wanted to take a look at book banning throughout history because unsurprisingly politicians and religious leaders throughout history have banned access to knowledge since knowledge was able to be written down. It is so sad and so hilarious at the same time. Please listen before you aren't allowed to listen anymore.

Come explore Iran with us! We talk about the amazing history of Persia, delicious food, endangered animals, and insane current events. And we end the episode in an unusal (for us) way. I think it's the best we have done yet and I am really proud of the boys for tackling this topic.

Come join Elijah, Sawyer and special guest Madaline as they talk about the amazing island nation 99% of people have never heard of, Kiribati! It's a beautiful island chain of coral atolls with spectacular sea life and extremely delicate land life that is disappearing because of global warming caused by people around the world who don't even know they exist. They have a tragic colonial past that includes atomic testing on their islands because the life of the people there didn't matter to the British and American governments at the time. But their isolation has allowed them to maintain their beautiful traditions including amazing music and dances of chanting and body percussion. Want to support the show?
