    40. Hell at Sea- The Wreck of the Medusa
    Oct 11 2024

    THIS EPISODE IS NOT APPROPRIATE FOR CHILDREN!!

    This is, in my opinion, the worst sea disaster ever recorded, and also one of the least known to the general public. I think there are many lessons that can be taken from this event that can help people directly. The madness that occurred on the Wreck of the Medusa can help explain why humans are so easily able to be manipulated, and why we can so easily be turned to violence on one another. At the end of the episode I give practical advice and tips on how to avoid this sort of surprisingly common manipulation.

    39. Catalina Channel Swimmer- Ali LaBonte
    Sep 3 2023

    In September 2022 Ali LaBonte swam the Catalina Channel in California. This was a long-term dream and goal of hers. In the interview she explains in detail how she was able to accomplish this. I learned a lot about these types of endurance swims from her and her swim in particular. I am very grateful that she sat down to chat with me, especially since we had only met the night before the interview!

    Intro/Ending Music: Many thanks to Riggy Rackin for allowing the use of music from his Nauticas album. The intro and ending themes are the sailor song "A Roving", specifically track 1. Learn more or order his music at www.riggy.com

    38. Hippie Fisherman- Jim Peacock
    Apr 10 2023

    My apologies for not publishing in a while; life has been insanely busy. Jim Peacock is a hippie fisherman who has some great stories to share (storms, close calls, the hippie and fishing life). He also has been a major part of the Pacific Northwest wooden boat world, and you will hear my shock and excitement in the interview as I learn that I am actually talking to someone who helped create a wooden boat culture that has lasted decades and will probably outlast us all!
