Each metropolis has its own identity. In this episode, we discuss the way in which these identities can be monstrous, or angelic. Our discussion drifts to why it is bad practice to "gatekeep" the location of powerspots, before turning towards some of our favorite powerspots across the globe. A special guest called in to regale us his own account of climbing Half Dome.

Fear not! The weird buzzing noise only lasts through the first nine minutes of the program.

A caller called, too. Keywords: drifting, abandoned malls, The Nature Company, The Sharper Image, & Plasma Orbs.
