Did you know there was an ice age that ended as recently as 1850? I had no f*ckin' idea! (This is Diana going rogue, btw)
In this wildcard episode I tell you about a series of events in England during Shakespeare's time called the Frost Faires. They were how the Early Modern people (Shakespeare's peeps) made the most of their own climate disasters. My classmates and I set up a present day Frost Faire and here's a bit o what I learned during that process as well as some fun facts about Yew trees (which are really fucking cool!).
