Episode 112 – Specific Islands

<p>August Around the World continues, this time in the bigger of the oceans! You know the one.</p><br><p>Jake begins with cool rocks, just like you always hoped he would. Why? Because they’re what make up Nan Madol, a series of tiny, real nifty artificial islands in Micronesia built around a millennium ago! How exactly were they constructed, and why? IT’S A MYSTERY. And will white people <em>ever</em> give other cultures credit for their engineering chops? Not if this weather-controlling lost city has anything to say about it!</p><br><p>Wyatt then takes one for the team (and fulfills a recent-ish promise) by finally giving an obligatory rundown on Rapa Nui. Also known as Easter Island, this bad boy’s got actually a lot of really cool and surprising history regarding its famous big ol’ heads. So stop thinking about yams and listen up!</p><br><p>There’s plenty of world traveling still to come, so drop on by for this hour of Pacific island Superduperstitious fun!</p><br><p><strong>EPISODE LINKS</strong></p><br><p>“Masquatch” stickers: <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/851274835/masquatch-sticker" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.etsy.com/listing/851274835/masquatch-sticker</a></p><br><p>Merch Shop: <a href="https://www.superduperstitious.com/shop" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.superduperstitious.com/shop</a></p><p>Patreon: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/superduperstitious" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.patreon.com/superduperstitious</a></p><br><p>Four Phantoms email: fourphantomsbeer@gmail.com</p><p>Four Phantoms website: <a href="https://www.fourphantoms.net/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.fourphantoms.net/</a></p><p>Four Phantoms on Untappd: <a href="https://untappd.com/FourPhantoms/beer" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://untappd.com/FourPhantoms/beer</a></p><br><p><strong>Jake’s story</strong></p><br><p>Columnar basalt: <a href="https://www.wired.com/2015/02/volcanoes-create-towering-columns-rock/" r
