• The Lost Girls Of Panama

  It’s not unusual for those in their early twenties to want to get out into the world and explore it. Plenty of young people have found themselves backpacking across foreign lands, sleeping in hostels and meeting strangers in strange places, that will become lifelong friends, sharing lifelong memories. But it’s dangerous. Let’s not forget that. Anything that fits the bill of adventure - must naturally be so.   To advertise on this podcast please email: [email protected]    Or go to: https://advertising.libsyn.com/Marooned    Sources:  MSNBC, How this journalist found herself in the middle of a Panamanian true crime story Koude Kaas Cold case blog (information compiled from various sources) News from Dutch investigators on the finding of the backpack and its content Cell phones record the last moments of the Dutch women Dutch women had no plans to leave their accommodations in Panama, says landlady Ouders Kris en Lisanne: Het voelde gelijk al niet - RTL LATE NIGHT Lost in the Wild 'Reddingsteam was dicht bij vermiste Kris en Lisanne in Panama' In den Kleinen Hap Imperfect Plan / 2 Daily Beast- The full story

• Alexander Selkirk

  There are many similarities between the fictional stories of Robinson Crusoe and the Tom Hanks film, Castaway. Man becomes stranded on a deserted island, following a wreck. Man first struggles to survive, before becoming one with his surroundings, and thrives. Man is rescued, and finds himself missing life on the island. But there is one major similarity that is often overlooked, and that is that both of these critically acclaimed, fictional survival stories, are based on the real life Marooning of Alexander Selkirk.

• Will To Live

  We admire those willing to put themselves in such peril with the interest of exploration and discovery in mind, but with those who choose it for fun? It’s hard for the rest of us to wrap our heads around.  Let’s take something common. SkyDiving.  It’s said you’ll never feel so alive! And that’s because… you’ll never feel so close to certain death. “But it’s safe!”, they’ll say. And to that I respond. I’m sure it is. Airplanes are safe too. Here’s the problem with both. If something small goes wrong… that’s a big problem.   Visit our website! visitmarooned.com   To advertise on this podcast please email: [email protected]    Or go to: https://advertising.libsyn.com/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.
