The Fraught Story of Donald Crowhurst
On July 10, 1969, a cargo ship in the mid-Atlantic found a small white trimaran sailing along with nobody aboard. The logbooks were on the table. The case for the ship’s clock was there, and the clock was gone.The boat belonged to Donald Crowhurst, who was supposed to be weeks from winning the first race to sail alone around the world without stopping. Kris tells Jake the story of the 1968 Golden Globe from inside the cabin: the contract that would bankrupt him if he quit, the house he’d put up to back it, and eight months alone at sea with what he’d started.Fifty-seven years later, an Oregon man who learned to sail on YouTube is out there right now, headed around the world alone with his cat.Follow Oliver Widger and Phoenix:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@sailing_with_phoenixFurther reading: The Strange Last Voyage of Donald Crowhurst by Nicholas Tomalin and Ron HallSupport this Show:https://www.patreon.com/overcrest

The Kill Crank / How One Man Dying Saved Us All
Before 1912, starting a car meant standing in front of it and pulling on a steel handle while the engine decided whether to cooperate. Sometimes it cooperated. Sometimes it broke your wrist, your jaw, or worse. Doctors had a name for the injury. Insurance companies had a category for it. And a whole class of automobile existed for people who wanted no part of the fight.This is the story of how that ended.Support Overcrest Get Cool Stuff:https://www.patreon.com/overcrest

Clay Croft / XOverland / Driving Around the World
Clay Croft is the founder of Expedition Overland — seventeen years of driving to the edges of the map and filming what's out there. He's crossed the Greenland ice sheet, run the Road of Bones through Siberia, and this year closed out a circumnavigation of the globe the hard way: top to bottom, the roof of Norway to the southern tip of Africa, 25,000 miles across three continents on a single oil change. We had him on to talk about exploration — how you work your way up to something that size, what the world is really like past the places people warn you about, and whether there's anything left out there to find.Find more xOverland here:https://loveofdriving.mobil.com/aroundtheworldSupport this podcast:https://www.patreon.com/overcrest
