Lorna reports on the fascinating tale of a slave called Benkos Bioho who escaped captivity in late 16th century Colombia. He and other escaped slaves founded a city that still stands today. These outlaw slaves would braid maps into their hair to help others escape.
We also go off topic talking about the potential of seeds growing into people’s heads, and what fictional place we would want a map to.
This week it’s revealed where guinea pigs originated from too!
