Belize is one pof the more fascinating places in Central America. While it's bordered by Mexico and Guatemala, and shares a geopolitical sphere with Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica, it's not a dominant-Spanish speaking country. In fact, unlike all the other countries, Belize was actually Britain's lone Central American colony for a long time. In this episode, we explore the history and geography of this unique, and gorgeous, Central American country.

Summer is here! And with summer comes all the travel plans and vacationing that you've been dreaming of all year long.

How did it become a thing in the first place? Where are people coming and going from mostly? And why is Iceland such a relatively huge destination every year for trans-Atlantic travelers? All answered on today's podcast episode!

World War II gets all the attention as far as major conflicts go, but World War I (also known as the Great War) truly reshaped the world in some incredible ways. In this episode, we dive deep into the geography of World War I, how it all got started and where it ended, and what some of those global changes were as the world emerged from its first truly global conflict.

Easter Island, also known as Rapa Nui by the locals, is a far flung island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. But while it's very far away and very small, it actually has a fascinating geography and history attached to it. In this episode, Hunter and Geoff dive into how Easter Island was settled in the first place, how it was colonized, and why Chile owns it today.

Trains are an incredibly important piece of transportation technology. But while the United States is not often considered to be a train country overall, it actually kind of is! It's just not one for passengers. Still, the U.S. has more active track than any other single country and hauls much of our goods from city to city. Join us as we tackle the global geography of trains including who carries the most passengers, what the longest rail line is, and what the United States', Canada's and Mexico's rail infrastructure looks like.
