If you've ever found yourself wandering into the the world's tiefsten Felsengründe, then this is the episode for you! Ghostly lights, a worm, charcoal burning knowledge, a watery grave and more await you (and our traveller) in this diverse episode! Who knew discussing Irrlicht and Rast from Schubert's Winterreise could be such fun?!
