We hope you have your hats, scarves, and puffy coats ready for this week's episode. Professor Nicki is in her True Detective era, so we are going to the University of Alaska Anchorage. This week's lesson includes some native folklore, a cold Bermuda triangle, and a crazy auditorium.
Do you have a campus you would like us to cover? Do you have any crazy Alaska stories you would like to share? Do you agree with Professor's Allie opinion of Into The Wild? Send us an email at darkacademiathepodcast@gmail.com. Follow us on Instagram @darkacademiathepodcast for some extra credit.
