Once upon a time, around the 16th century, an ominous land known as 'The Isle of Demons' was found on maps. And then it disappeared. This raised questions. Which raised more questions. Where did it go? Why did it go? What was the original Zealand? And does Germany exist? Join us as we attempt to answer some of these questions, mispronounce things, and spread some gossip from the 1500s.

(In all seriousness, sincerest apologies for Jess' pronunciation of Newfoundland. But it would make sense for it to be pronounced that way, right?)
