The Missing Amber Room
Manage episode 290252630 series 2783154
"A whole room?" Well, sort of. This week, Alex & Christie distract themselves with the mysterious disappearance of the gorgeous amber room panels, and the potential theories surrounding this weird historical situation. Tune in to hear if the panels are at the bottom of the sea, if they've been destroyed by Nazi's and why one theory is giving off some lost cosmonaut conspiracy theory vibes. Need a distraction? We got you.
