@hillykenkel @yourewrongabout @RISKshow 👋 Two friends retrace the steps of the Donner Party across America to find the truth behind this gruesome tragedy. But - and hear us out- it's also kinda funny?

Well this seems bleak (even for us). Thank you to everyone who found the show here! Please come find us wherever we all go next. We’ve got more stories to tell and more vans to [lightly] crash.

Spend some time with this show. Take a morning walk tomorrow and throw on the first episode if you haven’t listened.

I say this every time, but I’m always excited to see what @ColleenScrivs is doing.
This was worth the wait. I already know I’m going to listen more than once.

Part Six of our Donner Party podcast is here. We finally reach the Sierra. And the snow begins to fall.

[Overlanders: A Donner Party Podcast @DonnerPartyPod]

@DiannaSauceda @spotifypodcasts Thank you for the heads up! We’ll take a look at it first thing in the am. Sorry about that!

[Colleen Scriven @ColleenScrivs]

This is valid! And also why I wanted to make the show- to challenge the typical narrative. Thank you for giving us a shot!

Part 8 is here! Things are grim at the lake- but help is on the way.
