Marooned

• Father Son Time

  It’s always nice to get away for a day, or even a moment, with someone who had a hand in raising you. Buy them lunch. To repay one of those bags of food they prepared you before school. Sit down and listen. Something a child or teenager takes for granted; that someone will always be there to listen. At least for the lucky ones. So how unlucky to take your dad for a trip as a way of thanking him for a healthy exposure to the wild, and put him in danger of exposure… in the wild?   To advertise on this podcast please email: [email protected]    Or go to: https://advertising.libsyn.com/Marooned    Sources: https://www.latimes.com/style/la-os-live16sep16-story.html https://www.oklahoman.com/story/news/2003/06/13/father-son-stranded-for-4-days-in-alaska/62039607007/ https://www.theintelligencer.com/news/article/Doctor-Recounds-Alaskan-Rafting-Ordeal-10547388.php   https://www.newspapers.com/image/1001641416/ https://www.newspapers.com/image/915913270/?match=1&terms=Blake%20Stanfield%20Alaska https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koyukuk_Riverhttps://www.nps.gov/gaar/learn/what-is-gates-of-the-arctic.htm#:~:text=The%20park%20name%20came%20from,into%20the%20far%20north%20Arctic.

• Last Breath

  Taking one last breath is something we all practice as kids, experimenting with how long we can hold out before seeing stars. On September 18th of 2012, saturation diver Chris Lemons found himself in an impossible game of life or death, that went from seeing stars to becoming one in an upcoming feature film.   Please rate and review Marooned on apple podcasts, Spotify, Castbox, or Amazon Music.

• Lost On The Lava

  Lost on a lava field. Trudging along for days on an ever growing expanse. Mocked by the choppy chuckle of helicopter blades that fly tourists overhead. They’re not looking for you. A grey speck on a chalkboard searching for the road you came in on. Searching for signs then searching for water. And finding nothing as easy as it should be. Maybe a torch would attract some attention? But the lava flows are too hot to close in on. How frustrating. To be in hell and not even able to achieve fire.  Please leave us a review or mention us to friends and co-workers.

• The Coast Guard Disaster

  It’s important to know what you're getting into, but in many of life's decisions there's a hard truth of that not being completely possible. Like when joining the United States Armed Forces for instance. No amount of literature or film based on the Army, Navy, Air Force, Space Force, Marine Corps or Coast Guard, can truly prepare one for all that such a career may throw at you. Or into. Or out of.   Sources: Bearing Drift by Peter Eident The Sinking of the USCGC Cuyahoga | PropTalk  Deadliest American Disasters and Large Loss of Life Events 1978 — Oct 20, USCG Cutter Cuyahoga hit/sunk by freighter Santa Cruz II ~Smith Point, MD-11 – Deadliest American Disasters and Large-Loss-of-Life Events  Casualty Report ADA076437.pdf    Please tell others about Marooned. Without you and your friends and neighbors listening, Jack and Aaron are likely to end up on a remote beach...marooned.

• The Luckiest Woman Alive

  The idea of pulling a large parachute behind you until the wind catches it, then running down a mountainside until you're swept up into the air… is called paragliding. Some might argue that what was just described sounds more like a nightmare. For professional paraglider, 36 year old Ewa Wisnierska, back in 2007 at the Manilla XC Open - it was a little bit of both.   Please leave us a review! :-)   Sources: Miracle in the Storm (2010) Documentary https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TUIGvIkDDs   BBC Interview with Ewa https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p05ky78m   2007 World Championship Results https://www.fai.org/sites/default/files/civl/documents/10th_fai_world_paragliding_championships_female.pdf https://www.fai.org/sites/default/files/civl/documents/10th_fai_world_paragliding_championships_overall.pdf   http://xcopen.org/index.php/competitions/37-2007-xc-open-manilla   https://xcmag.com/news/comp-series-understanding-competition-tasks/
