This is one of our favorite epsiodes and since it was one of our first we thought it was a good one to release again while Adam recovers! We will be back next week. Isadora talks about two buildings in Australia, one still standing, and one which burnt in the 1800's, that highlight the competition between Sydney and Melbourne to be 'the' international city of Australia in the 1800's. Adam discusses a local legend of a building he has actually visited, and still remembers how much it made his skin crawl.
