- spoilers for the topic This report really affected me for some reason, I listened to it on podcast this morning. The sentence about the first guy screaming as he was eaten floored me, I was shopping while listening and I had to stop and sit down, it took my legs out. Then the section where he falls out the boat and she just breaks down, the story of him hoping to confess his love and her recoiling, then the fact he’s still looking for answers to this day. It’s an insane and incredibly evocative story. I think this is my favourite Do Go On report ever.

As an american I love the accents. My wife has never listened to an episode, but knows who Jess is because I say water like a valley girl now.

Also Jesus Christ what an emotional story, horrific on almost every front. Brad Piss, though.
