   Episode 3: 'An object peculiarly British'

   In which the Royal Navy has a big problem, Sir John Barrow has a big dream, William Scoresby Jr. has a big disappointment, and Sir John Ross has the first of many big issues. Guest stars are my cats Misha and Finn making all sorts of ruckus in the background until I get my recording space back.

   Episode 2: The Northwest Passage Part II

   In which I talk about the Hudson's Bay Company, say more French names incorrectly, complain about Arthur Dobbs, talk even more about the Hudson's Bay Company, and finally get to namedrop Stan Rogers.

   Episode 1: The Northwest Passage Part I (and Jens Munk!)

   In which I thank some people, pretend I'm professional, probably say Knud Rasmussen's name wrong (send me your Knuds!), talk about Elizabethan men going to the Arctic, and then spend a very long time telling you everything you didn't want to know about Jens Munk.
