    May 16 2024

    Prepare for an eerie, unsettling journey through the silent streets of the world’s abandoned ghost towns. From a city frozen in time by the Chernobyl disaster to the slavery-staffed coal mines of Hashima Island; from the jungle experiment known as Fordlandia to a reputedly–haunted western settlement that boomed and busted with the tides of gold fever, Shane and Duncan embark on a thought-provoking reflection on the impermanence of human settlements and the enduring stories they leave behind.

Absolute Favorite Podcast

If you ever need to smile/laugh, this is the podcast for you. Learn about all sorts of random topics and enjoy the witty banter between Shane and Duncan. The discord for this podcast is also a fantastic place with fantastic people! MFFI has become a big part of my life and helps push back the depression on a regular basis. The older episodes are just as good as the new ones so you can really start anywhere, listen to a couple episodes and you’ll be instantly hooked. Knowledge is power, sleep is overrated!

Entertaining and educational

(updated) Been listening for several years now, I found them while doing research and was almost immediately hooked. The voices are easy to tell apart but both are enjoyable to listen to, they have fantastic chemistry, they aren't afraid to poke fun at themselves, and the episodes are very well researched. I worked 12 hr shifts overnight so needed something to listen to but that I could pause and not lose my place or get so sucked in I get distracted (audiobooks not great for some of the days) and podcasts, this one especially, really filled that need. I now have a toddler, and having this to listen to for those first sleepless months was a godsend. Now its a good way to feel connected, destress, laugh and feel less alone. I listen to a lot of podcasts, but this is one of my absolute favorites and it is very enjoyable even if you've listened to every episode, I enjoy relistening to them often!
