The Island Where Women Ate Their Husbands

It's virtually impossible to find accurate and trustworthy information about Micronesia on the internet. Plus, the region isn't just understudied, most of the sources are quite old. But this meant that Evan and I read pretty much every single research article and documentation we were able to find on Chuuk, as well as on the other islands we visited.

Today's episode stems from perhaps the most grotesquely human story we've ever found in all our years of research. Although there was scant information from the anthropologist who recorded it all those years ago, we found it so interesting that we wanted to make a video on it - even if we couldn't film anything too relevant to the story.

Thanks for watching and supporting! We're so happy to be back.

Love to you all,

Kata and Evan
