Episode List
#201 Broome, Australia
On Australia’s remote northwest coast lies Broome, a town of 15,000 shaped by centuries of cultural convergence. At the heart of this convergence is the giant oyster Pinctada maxima and the pearling trade that once supplied 80% of the world’s mother-of-pearl for buttons. You will never look at a pearl - let alone a button - the same way again.
#202 Nevada
Beyond Las Vegas lies a state of stark beauty, diverse cultures, and resilient people. From mining towns to wide
deserts, incredible public art to self-reliant ranchers, Nevadans have carved their own paths, shaping a distinctive culture rooted in independence, struggle, and imagination.
#201 Iceland
We arrive during the Reykjavík Art Festival, meet one of Iceland’s pioneering sculptors, and enjoy a solo
performance with Ásgeir at the iconic Harpa Concert Hall —whose music blends folk tradition with modern indie pop. Beyond the city, we harvest and dine with top chef Gisli Matt, crafting dishes from land and sea, and join two adventure photographers on a journey up the glacier of the famous volcano Eyjafjallajökull for breathtaking
images.
#204 Duluth, Minnesota
Perched on the western tip of Lake Superior, Duluth once shipped two-thirds of America’s iron ore, fueling the
nation’s steel. Like many blue-collar towns, it declined in the late 20th century—but a new generation of entrepreneurs has reimagined it as a cultural hub, embracing its industrial past, natural beauty, and creative
spirit.
