A few sherbets for the Silk Road ft. Esther Manito

February 3
55 mins

Episode Description

Comedian Esther Manito joins the PastMaster team for a time travel trip to the ancient Silk Road.

On a mission to hire a crew and trek a caravan of silk from Samarkand to Baghdad, how will Esther's negotiating skill and improvised poetry serve her in this land of hard bargains, street-smart urchins and uncompromising rulers?

With the clock ticking and our robot Game Master in no mood for tomfoolery, the chances of success look slim. But as a "naturally competitive person" can will Esther prevail against the odds?

Episode features camels, sherbet, poisonings, silk and limericks.
