Ep. 5: Mt. Tambora & The Year Without Summer, 1816

In this episode, Ian tells Liv about a volcano that erupted in 1815, Mt. Tambora, in Indonesia. However, the devastation this volcano causes to the entire planet is unlike anything we've seen in over 200 years, and the world reacts accordingly.

Also, Liv fantasizes about Woody Harrelson. Ian expresses fears about Walmart.
