The Kim Family Road Trip

Oct 30 2024 34 mins  
The family road trip brings to mind an overpacked station wagon, some unimpressed kids in the back, and a couple of adults arguing up front over a comically large map. It’s supposed to be a good time but in reality, usually, it’s a bit of a nightmare. Especially if dad made a wrong turn. And then another… and it’s getting dark. Marooned has a facebook group!

Ada Blackjack

The Marooning of Philip Ashton

Sep 18 2024 38 mins  
Maroon - to leave someone trapped and isolated in an inaccessible place, especially an island. Admittedly, stories that closely fit that definition are more difficult to come by than we originally thought. This episode, however, fits the bill. Resources: Book ~ Fleming, Gregory N.

Stranded In Space

Sep 04 2024 39 mins  
To be stranded anywhere - Marooned - sucks. It’s going to be uncomfortable. You’re going to have to find a way to get through it, until rescue. Usually that means finding shelter, eating bugs, and drinking urine. You know the deal. But for astronauts Sunita Williams and Barry Wilmore it will mean an extended stay in the place they've always longed to be. Outer Space. Bon

The Kind Warrior

Timothy Treadwell, infamously known as “Grizzly Man”, referred to himself as The Kind Warrior. A nod to his tireless work in the wild as a documentarian and aspiring arbiter of all things animal. This unique character strove to become one with the bears of Alaska. A dream that would be fulfilled in nightmare fashion. Please subscribe to Marooned and leave us a review. Find us

My Name Is Juliane

Jul 10 2024 30 mins  
The Jungle looks like a pretty fun place in cartoons. Appears to be a hot spot for adventure in the movies. Juliane Koepcke, a teenager at the time of this story, knew the adventure part. She, unlike most German teenagers, had spent time in the jungle. Not enough to master its secrets to survival, but apparently just enough to give it a problem killing her... after the plane cras

The Death Zone

Jun 26 2024 43 mins  
On top of the world. You’d think you’d be jubilant. But at the peak of Mount Everest there’s little energy to celebrate. You’ve got about 20 minutes to enjoy the view, to take in your enormous accomplishment - before it’s time to go. You’re dying. You’re at high risk of cerebral edema. Brain swelling. It’s a grand achievement but you must go back down. You can’t
