And those few outsiders fortunate to travel to this country may encounter a mystery that's baffled investigators for centuries (if not millennia): What is the Plain of Jars? What could have inspired ancient civilizations to build hundreds upon hundreds of giant, stone jars out in northern Laos? Why did the US government spend so much time planting bombs in the area?

President Donald Trump and Republicans pulled off a decisive victory. Are Native Americans poised to benefit from the change in power? We’ll get the early analysis about what the election results mean from a Native perspective and hear more about how Native candidates fared up and down the ballot. We'll also find out how tribes might shift strategies to accommodate the change in political winds. They’re acrobatic fliers with long bodies and veined wings and their babies breathe through their butts: dragonflies. Let’s get into the difference between a damselfly and dragonfly, how fast they dart around, how big they were in the age of the dinosaurs, sci-fi aviation inspiration, mating choreography, attracting them to your yard (maybe to eat them) and lots more with scholar, American Museum of Natural History curator, and dragonfly expert: Dr. Jessica Ware.

Flying saucers are perhaps the most iconic genre of UFO -- since the 1940s they've become the mainstay vehicles for extraterrestrials in all sorts of fictional stories. But, according to declassified files, the US Government was intensely interested in building some flying saucers of its own. So far did they get? The answer may surprise you in tonight's Classic episode.

It’s the final day to cast your vote, setting the political course for the foreseeable future. All the messages to encourage Native voting, the legal and technical work to assure access, and the onslaught of campaign ads come down to Election Day. We’ll get reports from around the country to talk about progress and remaining hurdles as Native voters choose their elected leaders. In this episode, Rivers and Sam are hangin' out at Disgraceland Studios with, the one and only, comedian Kurt Steinmüller! We kick this one off with a double dose of ungoldy concoctions: India's Limca lemon-lime soda and South Korea's Mentos Lemon Mint Drink with chunks! Then, we hop in the time machine and set the dial for 65 million years ago! That's right, we're talkin' dinosaurs, folks. We cover the spectacular fiasco that was 'Jurassic World: Dominion' and some recent dinosaur-related goings on at the Los Angeles Natural History Museum. Then, Rivers shares the story of the two scientists who destroyed one another while searhing for dinosaurs in the 19th century. Kurt tells a couple spectacular storyies about raccoon bones and being chased by predators in Long Island. Santana's "Evil Ways" is our JAM OF THE DAY! This is a super fun one, folks. We can't wait for you to listen. Follow Kurt on Twitter @SteinmullerKurt and on Instagram @KurtSteinmuller Follow the show on Twitter @TheGoodsPod.
