Humans are friends... NOT food. I teach Whitney the difference between a Winnebago and a Wendigo, while she teaches me that Oreos are vegetarian/vegan/meat-free.

A special podcast guest, two cats, and an unsolved mystery from 1959 Soviet Union walk into a bar. Hopefully the bartender can determine if the Dyatlov Pass incident was a natural phenomenon, a government coverup, or perhaps something beyond our comprehension that caused these experienced hikers' mysterious demise.
