This episode began with Matt taking a deep dive into Pykrete, project Habbakuk of WW2 and ice ships. Pykrete was featured on one of the Mythbusters Alaska Specials where they successfully built and sailed an ice boat. Merlin took another step diving deeper into the world and ideas of Geoffrey Pyke. The discussion lead as far afield as Montessori schools (a Tasia specialty) and Golf Spies in the 1930s. Jump in and join a ramble through the world around Pykrete.
