#6: Jungle

After a short break, we rise out of the ashes of the last episode and return with the wildest edition of The Frame Loop podcast yet. This week's theme is 'JUNGLE'. Listen in award winning master-baker Rob Fred Parker and cake connoisseur Luke Richardson as they explore Werner Herzog's Peruvian Jungle epic Fitzcarraldo, the groundbreaking explorer Henry Walter Bates, and the return of legendary polymath artist David Bowie. All that, and so, so, so much more. Too much, frankly. We should really be getting paid for this stuff.
