For many travelers, Antarctica is a bucket-list destination, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to touch all seven continents. In 2023, a record-breaking 100,000 tourists made the trip. But the journey begs a fundamental question: What do we risk by traveling to a place that is supposed to be uninhabited by humans? And as the climate warms, should we really be going to Antarctica in the first place?

Trapped At The Bottom Of The Ocean for 60 Hours 45:24

2 years之前45:24

45:24

Harrison Okene, a Nigerian ship's cook, faced a remarkable ordeal of survival. In May 2013, he was trapped in an underwater vessel, the Jascon 4, for an astonishing 60 hours before being miraculously rescued. The tugboat had capsized and sunk off the coast of Nigeria while supporting an oil platform. Okene found himself within an air pocket in the upturned hull of the ship as it rapidly sank. Struggling against panic, he clung to hope as water submerged the vessel completely. Surviving on Coca-Cola and biscuits, he endured darkness, cold, and the constant threat of drowning. With no means of communication, he remained alone in the depths, unsure if rescue would ever come. Meanwhile, a Dutch underwater rescue team, sent to recover bodies, descended to the wreck site. Against all odds, one diver, Nico van Heerden, discovered Okene alive inside the sunken vessel. Okene, disoriented and frightened, initially mistook the diver for a sea creature. Guided by the diver's light, he swam towards safety, rescued from the depths. Okene's survival story captured global attention, hailed as a miraculous testament to the human spirit. It shed light on the hazards faced by offshore workers and emphasised the importance of stringent safety measures. His extraordinary tale of endurance and resilience serves as an inspiration, reminding us of the unwavering will to survive, even in the most perilous circumstances.

GREATEST HITS: Killdozer aka The Colorado Bulldozer Rampage 1:08:27

2 years之前1:08:27

1:08:27

Imagine sitting at your desk at work, a day like any other. All of a sudden you hear a rumbling that gets louder, and louder. Then you look out the window and see it: a massive tank (yes - TANK), covered in guns, coming straight towards your office. You get outside just in time to see this thing completely flatten your building to the ground, then drive away. Um… WHAT? That’s exactly what happened in 2004 to the people in Granby, Colorado. Marvin Heemeyer, a local man, was angry at most people in town about a bunch of different nonsense, so he decided to take revenge by spending more than a year modifying a bulldozer into a weaponised war-like tank, which he then drove all over town for several hours destroying everything in his wake. As you do. Local businesses, the town hall, the library, even the police station - all flattened by the Killdozer. And because this thing was indestructible (bullet-proof, bomb-proof, unbreakable steel), there was nothing the police could do, but watch helplessly and hope something - anything - would stop it. It literally got to the point where the army considered dropping a bomb on it so strong it would also destroy the entire town. So what stopped the Killdozer in the end? We give you Just The Gist, but if you want more, there’s this: Watch the ' Tread ' documentary trailer https://bit.ly/tread-documentary .

Roar: The Most Dangerous Film of All Time 1:02:01

2 years之前1:02:01

1:02:01

It's Just The Gist - "F*cking White People" Edition; The story of the 1981 film ROAR. A tale of how a rich naive Hollywood couple spent over a decade making a movie that starred them, their kids and 150 lions, tigers, leopards, panthers, ALLL the big cats. The movie was pitched as a "family comedy", but is widely regarded as one of the most dangerous films of all time. Roar starred Tippy Hedron ( Star of Hitchcock's The Birds and others) her daughter Melanie Griffiths, and the rest of their family. The plot is broadly "we can save the world/animal kingdom/lions and tigers etc are all big friendly besties who just are misunderstood and we can live with them in harmony". Sounds cute in theory, maybe in adorable cartoons, but filming with 150 big cats gives very different results. Turns out, big cats gunna big cat; the films credits say no animals were harmed in the making of the movie (lies lol), but they don't say anything about how many PEOPLE were mauled, scalped, attacked, and generally not treated as one would hope to be treated at work. We give you just the gist, but if you want more, there's this: LINKS Watch ROAR! Trailer from it's 2015 re-release https://bit.ly/roarfilm-trailer .

THE DEVIL WORKS HARD BUT KRIS JENNER WORKS HARDER. This week we give you just the gist of the woman who created the Kardashian/Jenner empire. The woman who is now worth a quarter of a billion dollars and is considered one of the most powerful managers in Hollywood. The 'Momager' herself, Kris Jenner. So how does someone go from wealthy housewife who lunches and plays tennis, to media mogul and creator of the new American Dynasty?

The Heaven’s Gate Cult 1:05:14

In 1987, San Diego police discovered the bodies of 37 people in a house. They all had matching haircuts, matching outfits, and infamously - matching Nike sneakers. These were the members of the Heaven’s agate cult, and they had decided to ‘graduate’ from their human forms, so they could ride the Hale-Bopp comet to Heaven. Led by Marshall Applewhite and Bonnie Nettles (also called ‘Ti and Do’), Heaven’s Gate initially seemed like a bunch of of eccentric alien believers, until they orchestrated one of the most shocking mass suicides in modern history. (Unless you believe them, in which case, they just hitched a ride to Planet Heaven on a spaceship comet and lived happily ever after.) This episode deals with suicide and body mutilation so please take care while listening. If you want to talk to someone about it, Lifeline is available 24 hours a day on 13 11 14.

GREATEST HITS: The 1981 Trashman Yacht Sinking 38:46

We've got so many great stories in the JTG back catalogue, but a few really stand out as Greatest Hits. And with so many new Gisteners joining us every day, we thought we'd occasionally revisit some of the old faves. We told the story of the 'Trashman' yacht sinking way back in 2021, and since then it often pops up as an 'all-time favourite' mention. Strap in Gisteners, it's a WILD ride: This has been called one the worst shark attack stories of all time. After their yacht, ‘The Trashman’, sank in a major storm, five crew members were stranded in the middle of the ocean in a tiny inflatable dinghy. That number soon turned to four. Then three. Then two. Sharks were circling them, taking the crew one by one. But not before starvation and thirst caused them to mentally unravel and turn on each other (seriously - one crew member got so delirious they started acting like a possessed zombie). We give you just the gist, but if you want more, there’s this: ‘I Shouldn’t Be Alive’ (Season 1, Episode 1) - available on Amazon Prime: News article about the sinking: www.newsweek.com/woman-fiends-eaten-sharks-capsized-atlantic-1453952%3famp=1 Info on survivor Deborah Scaling Kiley: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deborah_Scaling_Kiley Deborah’s book ‘Albatross: The True Story Of A Woman’s Survival At Sea: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/273844.Albatross Transcript of Deborah’s interview with Larry King: http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/27/lkl.01.html Follow us on Insta: @justthegistpodcast Send us your suGISTions for stories: justthegistpodcast@gmail.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

Oh the humanity! They called it "the Titanic of the sky”. It was the length of five Olympic sized swimming pools and would fly a few hundred metres above the ground transporting wealthy passengers from one side of the Atlantic Ocean to the other, and came complete with a dining room, a Sunday prayer service and even a smoking room. But it was essentially a bunch of hydrogen-filled balloons floating in the sky that could catch fire the moment they were exposed to even a small spark...which is exactly what happened on May 6th 1937, when the Hindenburg's 63rd voyage from Frankfurt to New Jersey ended in disaster. The Hindenburg was the largest airship ever built and its crash remains one of the most famous aircraft disasters in history, thanks to the graphic footage of the explosion and the chilling radio commentary of reporter Herbert Morrison.

There are several documentaries. A podcast series. A live televised trial. So what is the deal with the 'Murdaugh Murders' that seem to be all over the news? One of the most wealthy, important families in an entire state suddenly having all their secrets laid bare? Of course people are obsessed. The Murdaugh Family is a legal dynasty, basically in charge of justice in Hampton County, South Carolina. Which means if anyone in their family ever broke the law... they got away with it. Until now. Alex Murdaugh was recently found guilty of the 2021 shooting of his wife Maggie and adult son Paul, shocking locals who never thought a Murdaugh would get in trouble for anything. And that was just the start - once police started looking, several murders and crimes seemed to be linked to Murdaugh family members. Mallory Beach. Gloria Satterfield. Stephen Smith. It went way deeper - and was way more bizarre - than anyone anticipated. We give you just the gist, but if you want more, there's this: Some articles: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-03-19/murdaugh-family-still-in-spotlight-with-links-to-cold-cases/102089120 https://www.nytimes.com/article/murdaugh-murders-alex-paul.html https://people.com/crime/murdaugh-family-murders-everything-to-know/ https://nypost.com/2023/04/01/slain-teen-stephen-smiths-body-exhumed-for-independent-autopsy-report/ Documentaries: Murdaugh Murders: A Southern Scandal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aib52bSEpCQ Low Country: The Murdaugh Dynasty: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqVeygOHbZo Murdaugh Murders: Deadly Dynasty: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt20202860/ Murdaugh Murders podcast created by Mandy Matney: https://murdaughmurderspodcast.com/ Follow us on Insta: @justthegistpodcast Send us your suGISTions for stories: justthegistpodcast@gmail.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

He's been called a fortune teller, a prophet, a clairvoyant, a scammer... Nostradamus is said to have accurately predicted every major event in history, from the JFK assassination to 9/11 to the Covid pandemic. His books are still bestsellers, and people still live their lives today according to his readings of the stars, even though the French astrologer has been dead for over 500 years. So was 'Michel de Nostredame' and his most famous book The Prophecies ( Les Prophéties ) the real deal? How did he so accurately predict things like the existence of Hitler, or the exact year Queen Elizabeth II would die, hundreds of years before it all happened? Or... was he just a travelling salesman who started selling fake horoscopes for money and accidentally lucked into a very profitable scam?

Everybody recognises her picture. 3-year-old Maddie McCann was on holiday with her British parents in Portugal when she disappeared from her bed one night, never to be seen again. Despite international media attention and millions in donations, investigations raised more questions than answers. Who was the man spotted carrying a sleeping child the night Maddie disappeared? Did cadaver dogs really find evidence of bodily fluids in a rental car? Why did Madeleine's parents, Gerry and Kate McCann, leave her and her twin siblings home alone while they went to dinner?

A private jet for every guest, who then walked down a red carpet and got into a custom built limousine, which took them to an opulent bungalow, where they would find an intricate tapestry portrait of themselves on the wall. And that was just the first half hour. In 1971, the Shah of Iran decided to celebrate 2500 years of the Persian Empire by throwing the most expensive 3-day party the world had ever seen. Over a year in the making, Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi had an entire city built from scratch in the middle of the desert, complete with its own forest and 50,000 flown-in birds for the important international guests to enjoy. So why did the party end in disaster? Who was on the guest list (including exactly who you’d think from the British royal family)? And how much did the whole thing end up costing?
