About this episode

The episode discusses Lenore Wirtz's survival against an attacker and a historical sperm whale attack on a crew at sea.

This week we talk about Lenore Wirtz, a mother working alone at a women's clothes shop. Right before closing, a man comes in to purchase some clothing but attacks her instead. He drags her to the stockroom and her fight for survival begins. We also talk about a crew of men out at sea 200 years ago. A sperm whale attacks their boat and now they have to survive with limited supplies. Listen to how they survived now! Drink of the Week: I Should Totally Be Dead Now 2.0
