McMurder Station: Winter be Wildin'


Listen Later

This is my first time recording video along with the podcast, so I apologize to audio only listeners for all of my references to the camera. This episode was supposed to come out in December, but here we are. It's about how the cold, and the darkness, and isolation make our brains and bodies all out of whack. 

Look for it on YouTube in the days following the upload here if you're interested. Episode: https://youtu.be/KvC2tGeZ8Kw

Also, here's a website where you can watch a live feed from Antarctica: https://www.usap.gov/videoclipsandmaps/mcmwebcam.cfm
