Let Me Tell You About... The Hot Air Balloon North Pole Expedition

Salomon August Andrée had a dream. In 1897 he and his companions Nils Strindberg and Knut Fraenkel would be the first to fly a hot air balloon over the North Pole! (Or die trying!)
Their story inspired their fellow Swedes, HP Lovecrafts 'At The Mountains of Madness,' and countless other adventurers-at-heart to follow on their stead. Hopefully they would have a better plan.

The heart thing with the wife wasn't too unusual at the time (but probably more popular in the 1800s) in Europe. Lots of famous people or their families would often request the heart to be burried in a different place than the body. I've learned about so many historical figures that had it done to them that I never considered it might seem weird to anyone haha!

Cool balloon fact's: Salomon August Andree is the alternative universe version of Adolph Sax, possibly also a victim of time travel as suggested by the mysterious journal entry.

Very solid episode, if you’re ever planning to do another episode on idealistic and underprepared people who *spoilers* get themselves killed unnecessarily in the arctic; might I suggest the story of Christopher McCandless.

I'd honestly think a revisit to this topic of the golden age of polar exploration would be so cool. Aleks' mentioning of the story of the Lost Franklin Expedition would make for a legendary episode in itself. The story is unbelievably bleak.

Your voices do not match your portraits at all. I always assumed the deep voiced, less geeky one was the buzzcut dude that kind of looks like Phil Anselmo from Pantera, and the Hatsune Miku obsessed one was the dude with glasses. I literally can't imagine it the other way around. I MUST see what you two actually look like.
