Never Go to an Active Volcano for a Man

Are volcanoes pop culture? That question lies at the center of this week’s episode, wherein we unpack the terrifying eruptions of Mount Vesuvius (79 AD) and Whaakari (2019 AD). Two stories of volcanic disaster, one igniting tourism to Pompeii and one stopping tourism to White Island. If there’s one thing we learned, it’s that no matter how hard man tries to exert his control over nature, volcanoes gonna volcano. Plus: it happened again at the post office, the battel of living with your bad tattoo, and learning what “homeroom” actually means.
