Show Notes

Welcome to When It Goes Wrong, the podcast about disasters, accidents and when things fall apart. On this episode I discuss the Golden Globe sailing race where 9 men set out to circumnavigate the globe single handedly and without any stops. Over the months at sea, the men would manage loneliness, injury, madness, shipwrecks and death.
