The Great Wall of China Episode

Josh and Chuck dive into the fascinating history of the Great Wall of China, exploring how this ancient fortification is actually way longer than anyone ever realized — over 13,000 miles when you count all the various sections built over 2,000 years. They cover everything from the wall's construction by multiple dynasties to keep out northern invaders like the Huns, to its surprising modern-day challenges including tourism damage, desertification, and the fact that virtually no scholars actually specialize in studying it. The episode wraps up with a fun chat with Kristin Conger from Stuff Mom Never Told You about her experience actually walking on the wall, including a very special surprise that happened during her visit.
