And so the Winter Olympics are complete... In this episode, host Lizzie Boyle looks back on 60 million years of history (wait, what?) as well as the last week of Olympic biathlon competition. We'll have religious art, a pirate, a puppy dog, a lot of smiles, a shoutout to the party tent and a brief history of the Olympic medal: do you know what gold medals are made of?
