Prehistoric Greenland
5/21/20261 hr 8 min
What can a frozen island reveal about the people who thrived there for thousands of years? Tristan Hughes is joined by Dr. Asta Mønsted to explore prehistoric Greenland through astonishing archaeology and living mythology, from permafrost-preserved homes, tools, and clothing to whale hunts, shamanic stories, and the world of the Thule Inuit. Along the way, they uncover how families survived the Arctic, honoured spirits, and built a rich culture in one of Earth’s harshest places.

And we are currently deep diving Brandon Sanderson's fantasy epic, Mistborn. But here's the catch: Steven here has not read Mistborn before.
Steven0:53
That's right, Hayden. So each week you'll get my unfiltered raw reactions to every single chapter.

And along the way, we'll do character deep dives, magic explainers, and Steven will even try to guess what's next. Spoiler alert, he'll be wrong.
