We Finally Did It: The Niburu Episode.

If you're not from Nova Scotia, you may have never heard of Africville -- it was a small community in Halifax. The larger government of Halifax seemed content to pretend Africville simply didn't exist. After the infamous Halifax Explosion of the early 1900s, the government changed their tactic, and aggressively conspired to erase Africville from history.<a href="https://static.macmillan.com/static/fib/stuff-you-should-read/" rel="payment">They don't want you to read our book.: https://static.macmillan.com/static/fib/stuff-you-should-read/</a>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.

CLASSIC: The Hidden History of Africville

Located in the eastern Pacific ocean, thousands of miles from other civilizations, Rapa Nui is home to an enduring mystery: hundreds of giant, stone sculptures called maoi. For centuries, outsiders had no idea how these were built, when, why or -- most importantly -- what happened to make the construction stop. In tonight's episode, Ben, Matt and Noel dive deep into hidden history and the latest research... and just may, finally, find the answers.<a href="https://static.macmillan.com/static/fib/stuff-you-should-read/" rel="payment">They don't want you to read our book.: https://static.macmillan.com/static/fib/stuff-you-should-read/</a>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.

Rapa Nui: The Mystery of Easter Island

How can a star disappear? As Ben, Matt and Noel learn in this evening's Classic episode, there's more than a bit of weirdness involved: a few years back, an enterprising group of astronomers and astrophysicists found themselves transformed into full-on space detectives when a cursory observation of a luminous blue variable star located in the Kinman Dwarf galaxy revealed the star had simply... vanished. This is, according to what our species understands, impossible. Something this big should leave some sort of trace. So what happened? Join Ben, Matt and Noel as they explore the ongoing cosmic conundrum, exploring the story of this galactic noir mystery -- and, ultimately, attempting to learn what led to its untimely disappearance.<a href="https://static.macmillan.com/static/fib/stuff-you-should-read/" rel="payment">They don't want you to read our book.: https://static.macmillan.com/static/fib/stuff-you-should-read/</a>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.
