One of my favorite episodes ever! Great mix of studio and on location footage! And I really like Natalie but I appreciate when you change up the hosts, keeps some variety.

*sings*
...Hidden in the mountain store
Born underground, suckled from a teat of stone
Raised in the dark, the safety of our mountain home
Skin made of iron, steel in our bones
To dig and dig makes us free
Come on brothers sing with me!
