In this week's episode, Samantha tells us about the "light" dusting of snow Birmingham Alabama was supposed to receive on a chilly January morning in 2014. What was supposed to be a pretty snowfall that would melt immediately, turned into one of the most dangerous and treacherous.

Episode 122: Smokey Bear
In this week's episode Montana puts on her forest ranger hat, and tells us all about the origin of Smokey Bear. Sadly, it isn't all just catchy slogans and cute cartoon bears. There's war and burned animals that helped create the longest running public service announcement campaign in United States history. Only you can prevent wildfires, so be careful when you smoke this week's cocktail.
