This time, Andy encourages the Interpreters to recall a history that's being lost — their own — on the world wide web. What's happening to your early internet imprint? Is it worth preserving?

Saymoukda takes us to a moonlit beach in Malibu, to witness a grunion run. Grunions are in the sardine family and engage in a mysterious late night mating ritual at high tide.
