Welcome back Friends! 

We have upgraded our sound and equipment and we're thrilled about it!  We're also coming at you in stereo so you can use headphones to feel like you're really here with us in the middle of the smoke circle.  Or not, you do you and we love you for it *heart hands*

First we meet Khutulun of Mongolia who was an amazing warrior and just as amazing at wrestling.  KT is smitten kittens with her and Laurel doesn't blame her!  After KT wipes away her heart eyes, she takes us to try and find the lost colony of Roanoke, one of early America's greatest mysteries!
