For many travelers, Antarctica is a bucket-list destination, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to touch all seven continents. In 2023, a record-breaking 100,000 tourists made the trip. But the journey begs a fundamental question: What do we risk by traveling to a place that is supposed to be uninhabited by humans? And as the climate warms, should we really be going to Antarctica in the first place? SHOW NOTES: Kara Weller: The Impossible Dilemma of a Polar Guide Marilyn Raphael: A twenty-first century structural change in Antarctica’s sea ice system Karl Watson: First Time in Antarctica Jeb Brooks : 7 Days in Antarctica (Journey to the South Pole) Metallica - Freeze 'Em All: Live in Antarctica Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices…

Host Jimmy Time, Brother Skylar, and Pro Wrestler Jay Delta watch and re-tell bad entertainment and try to understand or make up the decisions behind why it was made. Season 3 is all about Total Non Stop Action. We review the absolute beginning of Impact Wrestling by watching the NWA TNA weekly PPVs and question how this arrogant, gross, racist, sexist, and surprisingly skillful company ever survived nearly 20 years and still going. Season 2 was all about a show people think was good, but really isn't. The (1959 TV Series) "The Twilight Zone". Jimmy Time has never seen The Twilight Zone except for one episode. Writer Eug Van Lith tries to convince Jimmy it's a good show and Wrestler Jay Delta tries to convince Eug it's not. Season 1 was all about horrible movies. With 100 episodes, we go from the 2011 Adam Sandler film "Jack and Jill" , to the 1978 TV Movie "Star Wars Holiday Special", all the way back to the 2001 Tom Green film "Freddy Got Fingered". Guests include Jay Delta, Danny Money, Eug Van Lith, Brother Skylar, Dani DT, and Joey FOTS.
