The Lost Colony of Roanoke Island

1 hour 16 minutes

Research begins at 13:00

115 settlers stranded in a strange new world. They were never seen or heard from again. What befell the lost colony of Roanoke Island? Who’s to blame for their disappearance? Did they perish from natural causes or was something extraterrestrial or supernatural involved? Andy and Art are once again in the bunker and ready to give you the whole enchilada on the missing colony.

Andy and Art pledged to never find themselves trapped in the bunker again, but here they are! They reveal how the titular Mr. Bunker duped them and discuss the classic childhood rhyme “first is the worst, second is the best…” before diving into the mystery of the Roanoke Settlers.

In the second segment, Andy and Art give you, the listeners, an uninterrupted presentation of their research into the lost colony of Roanoke Island.

Finally, Andy and Art discuss the lost colony of Roanoke Island at length. They talk about the laziness of the British explorers, a fun fact about the Beatles, 1600s british agriculture, chief Powhatan, the reason why people would move to a new colony or move today, Hilary Duff, the lack of supplies, the settlers joining natives, and the Dare stone. Afterwards the boys discuss whether they could survive stranded on an island. Then they give their final verdict on the mystery and the results may shock you!
