Most people drive and, as such, most cities have been built around the personal vehicle. But while it seems like it's been this way forever, it's actually a fairly recent development. Join Geoff and Hunter as they explore the history of the U.S. automobile industry and how it went on to shape almost every single city in the country today.

So bad, in fact, that the carbon emissions from Canada more than doubled from what the country usually emits. So bad that Europe was inundated by smoke from the Canadian wildfires. So bad that Yellowknife, the Northwest Territories largest city and one that is often more associated with ice and snow, had to evacuate due to the looming threat of wildfires. In this episode, Geoff and Hunter tackle the incredible geography that is Canada's 2023 wildfire season and its impact on the world.

The dish is something that's so intrinsically tied to Japan that Sushi restaurants don't even have to advertise their place in the same way that Italian restaurants or Chinese restaurants do. In this episode, Geoff and Hunter go through the incredibly deep history of Sushi and how it expanded from a once isolationist and insular country to become one of the world's most popoular food items.
