A hell of a premise for this one. A family sailing around the world are in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, hundreds of miles away from land, when disaster strikes. They have limited supplies, no communications and now they are up to their ankles in water. It makes you wonder how on earth they all ended up in this situation, and whether they’ll survive.

This podcast by Blanchard House and Apple TV+ retells the story with a mixture of storytelling, recreation and immersive soundscaping that makes you feel like you’re really there. It’s a great podcast to listen to through headphones. The first two episodes are available to listen to now, with additional episodes available if you are a subscriber to Apple TV+.
