In the 1930s, a luxurious passenger shipwrecked at Asbury Park. Only 6 lifeboats were deployed, the captain died the night before, and a suspicious fire ended up spreading throughout the entire ship. Was it a horrible accident, or the work of one man and a government cover-up? Bethany covers the crazy story of the S. S. Morro Castle. Then, we’re not beating around the bush! English isn’t the only language that has bizarre idioms that don’t always make sense, and Kathleen is sharing some of the strangest from countries near and far. Plus, Kathleen has discovered a new way you can shade your friends using technology. (Her mom’s doing it already!)
