This week join the Dead Kids as they ride that pyroclastic flow down into the uncanny valley that is POMPEII: a city frozen in time! While Aaron continues his vacation in plague-ridden Medieval Italy, Lisa and Marie travel further back in time to discuss the age-old question: is Pompeii real?! Yes, the answer is yes… 
While the two dead kids battle with mysterious one-way soundproofing, you’ll learn about how Pompeii looked before the devastating eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD. Hear what it’s like to excavate in the ancient city and find out if the floor really is lava. We’ll tell you everything you need to know about those suggestive-looking plaster casts of victims of the eruption too. 
We even reference real academic papers in this one, but you don’t need to take notes as there won’t be an exam. There will, however, be a very intellectual Q&A session based on auto-fill prompts on Google. What more could you ask for?
