25. Hogging the Headlines: Rooting Out the Truth of the Pig Wars

Pacific Northwest History & Humor: Rainy Day Rabbit Holes

It's our 25th episode!!! What happens when you batch record three episodes in one morning? This hot mess express! Today, Shea tells you all about how the San Juan Islands of Washington almost fell to British rule, and how one poor pig sparked a 15 year skirmish that almost disintegrated into an all-out war between the Americans and the British in the Pacific Northwest. Marvel at Shea's inability to pronounce things. Grow disgusted with the non-stop tangents. It's everything you ever wanted, or didn't ask for, in a podcast episode. Its one hell of a drunk-isode!
