We finally found a work around to get back on the show! This was our first virtual brocial distancing episode!

We talk about some of our plans moving forward with our first official lockdown in Iqaluit, and what we've been doing to keep busy during the first two weeks. We discuss some of our views on both human history, and the future of humanity, aaand we talk a bit about spirituality in the North.
