Ep 4: It’s All Bad... Blame The Demogorgon

In this episode, Jess talks about the Benin Walls, which were four times longer than the Great Wall of China! She also discusses some of the dark history around Benin City in Nigeria.

Hids starts to talk about Lake Issyk Kul in Kyrgyzstan, but ends up taking a detour north to the Dyatlov Pass in the Ural Mountains. We'd like to visit Lake Issyk Kul, but there's a bit too much mystery (and freezing cold snow) around Dyatlov Pass!
