River Wok

from We Have Concerns Hosted by Jeff Cannata/Anthony Carboni

For centuries, Peruvian locals talked about a river in the Amazon that burns so hot it can kill. Now, Peruvian geoscientist, Andrés Ruzo has actually found it. Jeff and Anthony discuss Indiana Jones-esque adventures into the jungle, boiling rivers, and, for some reason, Jolt Cola. We Have Concerns is entirely listener supported!
