Early Departures

Before you go out and ring in 2022, let's talk about New Years Eve safety! Afterwards, we'll make the folks living in cold climates feel a little better about not being warm on a beach somewhere! Intro music: "Airplane, Seat Belt Beep, A.wav" by InspectorJ (www.jshaw.co.uk) of Freesound.org

Phoebe takes us down some old roads that your GPS might miss, while Ashley teaches us why it's smart to kick toilets now and then.  Intro music: "Airplane, Seat Belt Beep, A.wav" by InspectorJ (www.jshaw.co.uk) of Freesound.org

First, an overworked healthcare worker gets away from it all in Varadero, Cuba. Then Ashley reports some updates on a case she talked about last year. Special shout out to our amazing listener, Kimberly, who shot us an email letting us know that there was an update to share!

We're finally back (again) and crossing our fingers for no more kidney stone attacks! First we're going to Chicago to experience some of the finest architecture in the world - but we'll have to watch out for some not so fine stuff too. Next we're heading back to the Dominican Republic, where we're going to avoid "The Blender" at all costs.

Listen as we refer to Australia as "far away and exotic" and try to place it's regions according to (probably incorrect) clock positions! Stick around after for some very nuanced and creative descriptions of creatures such as capybaras and pink dolphins. We're gonna need a bigger boat!

Another day another disaster. Ashley takes us high in the sky, while Phoebe takes us back to Alaska in the this episode of updates!  Intro music: "Airplane, Seat Belt Beep, A.wav" by InspectorJ (www.jshaw.co.uk) of Freesound.org

First, a musical composer almost loses his money maker in Alaska while fulfilling a childhood dream of mushing with some sled dogs. Then, a creative young man sets out on a mission to find the “real” North Korea. This is a final boarding call for 2020! We’re sick of this year and everything in it! Join us again in 2021, when we’ll have more weird tales of tragic travels! Intro music: "Airplane, Seat Belt Beep, A.wav" by InspectorJ (www.jshaw.co.uk) of Freesound.org

War is hell...and so are haunted houses and the people who run them (sometimes). First we’ll talk about Myanmar’s very unfortunate ranking as 4th in the world for something you definitely don’t want to experience. Then we’ll take a deep dive into why haunted houses are way scarier than actual paranormal happenings. It’s Halloween, get into the spirit of the season with us!

A woman is abducted at the Bangkok airport after a shady business deal gone wrong, and a park ranger is shot and killed at Mt Rainier by a troubled Iraq war veteran.

First, Ashley tells us about a story about blizzards, trains, mountains, and a very unfortunately timed pineapple express in the Pacific Northwest (US). Then, Phoebe keeps us in the mountains, in Mongolia, with a tale of a hang glider that doesn’t kill it’s operator for once.
