In this super long, super exciting installment of Dirt After Dark, we pick up where we left off in our volcanoes episode and take a look at volcano-informed myth and culture in fact and fiction (and the things that fall somewhere in the middle) before jumping feet first into an exploration of the trope of volcano sacrifices. Plus, we tackle tiki culture and Amber finds a new favorite movie.
