About this episode

The episode discusses the discovery of Australia, its mythology, and personal anecdotes from the hosts.

This week we’re discussing that wonderful land of Australia! We’ll be finding out what was suspected about a land down under in Antiquity, south-east Asia’s Australian mythology and we’ll answer the age-old and quite complex question: who discovered Australia?! Elsewhere, Chris has barely survived a bout with Norovirus and Tom finally admits what he’s thinking when listening to electronic dance music. Do you have any confessions you’d like to share?
