This week, we're taking a little trip to one of the places in the world that people seem to "know" but not know anything about: Papua New Guinea. In this episode, we discuss some basic Papua New Guinea facts about what life is like there; about the diversity of the people, the plants, and the wildlife there; and we discuss many aspects of the culture that we're sure you know very little about. Of course, we also talk about how places like Papua New Guinea are exoticized and fetishized, and how we contribute to that problem without fully recognizing it sometimes. Whatever knowledge you think you might have, we guarantee you'll walk away from this episode having learned something you didn't know before. Join us!
