    In this two-part episode our hosts, Cayla, Nathan and Halli take a look at two topics of intrigue:

    • Bog Bodies: Over a thousand bog bodies have turned up across Europe, in at least 250 sites from Ireland to the Baltics. The oldest date back 10,000 years
    • Hunt of the Unicorn: The unicorn tapestries enthralled me as a child, the amount of effort put into them is staggering, and the fact that they have been preserved so well is amazing. But then I got to wondering, what exactly is the story behind them? And turns out, we're not 100% sure
