In this season's final episode, Hannah takes us on one last journey through time and space on the backs of dragons. Did you know that there is more than one kind of alligator? Did you know the 793 AD Viking raid on Lindisfarne was foretold by dragons appearing in Northumbria? Did you know the Book of the Netherworld found in Tutankhamun's tomb had the first ever depiction of the Ouroboros? So many things to learn this episode!
Please enjoy this season finale, but don't worry! We will be releasing BONUS episodes in the months leading up to our season two opening next February.
Created and co-hosted by Georgia Abrams and Hannah Rucinski.
Sound design by Shannon Webster.
Inspired by your mom's pillow talk.
