• Midnight Sun: Arctic Tales

  EPISODE 138 | Midnight Sun: Arctic Tales The Far North is a region of extremes and stark beauty, and it is also trying to kill you if you’re a human. And yet we still live there, around 4 million of us call the Arctic our home, and we still weave stories about it, often quite fanciful ones.  It’s a land of adventure, danger, murder, mishap, giants, ancient aliens, the origin of white people, secret tropical paradises, political talking points and even an overly generous fat guy in a red suit. It all depends on who you talk to. Like what we do? Then buy us a beer or three via our page on Buy Me a Coffee.  Review us here or on IMDb.
