Episode description

It's 1766 and a French Naval expedition is about to be the first to circumnavigate the world with a woman aboard. Except they don't exactly know that she's there. Because she had disguised herself as Jean Baret, male botanical assistant to Phillibert Commerson. How did Jeanne (not Jean) end up on this voyage? Why did she disguise herself? And how was she found out? We talk about all that and more in this episode!
