Sobre este episodio
Do we ever finish surviving? Sarah tells Survival Correspondent Blair Braverman the incredible story of 11-year-old Terry Jo Duperrault, who was lost at sea for several days on a flimsy cork dinghy. She also explains the sinister truth behind the “accident” that set her adrift, her harrowing time on the open ocean, and what her life was like after she became a survivor. Along the way, Sarah and Blair discuss the tragedy of having your story silenced, the big things that help us pull through the impossible, and how, in Terry Jo’s case and in our own, survival is never really over. Digressions include: the iconic waterski teams of Green Bay, the usefulness of sled dog armpits, and whether or not we can trust handsome men.Note: This episode is about surviving not just nature, but violent crime. This episode also involves suicide. Please listen with care.Produced + edited by Miranda ZicklerMore Blair Braverman:Blair's new picture book, "The Day Leap Soared"Blair on InstagramMore of Blair's workMore You're Wrong About:http://linktr.ee/ywapodBonus Episodes on PatreonBuy cute merchYWA on InstagramSupport the show
