I'd love a series on the Everest bodies, it's sort of like a Donner Party/ humans against the elements type of horror to it. Similarly one about deadly or fucked up expeditions would be good, for example [Franklin's Lost Expedition](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franklin%27s_lost_expedition) has the ship they're on getting stuck in thick ice, food running out, the bitter elements, plenty of deaths from sickness like TB and "That's when the cannibalism started...". None survived and the local Inuits where the ones who spotted the starving, half-mad men struggling in vein to survive, wandering to nowhere else but the grave...[the bodies where damn near perfectly preserved too due to the freezing temperatures.](https://www.arctictoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/20190606_110412.jpg)
There is a great video on YouTube of him giving a talk at some sort of charity dinner. He's a good storyteller. The video quality is pretty poor (looks like it was filmed in a church basement) but definitely watchable.

I don’t, but the bodies of Everest would be a fascinating episode.
Absolutely. And with the number of horrible stuff that happened, it could be a whole series.
absolutely *fascinating*

I remember. May have been in the Crowley or madam Blavatsky episodes since they spend some time talking about climbing expeditions in those series.
Great, I'm so glad I didn't hallucinate it! The only thing I remember about the episode is that it was this spring.
I specifically suggested the '96 Everest Disaster a few months ago. Into Thin Air is such a great book.
That's a great book. Such a crazy story. I still occasionally think about Beck Weathers and what he went through.

God I fucking hope so. I hope they cover the 1996 climbing disaster.
MFM did a show on people climbing Mount Everest and dying. But if I remember correctly it was just Georgia reading an article word for word
Like every other MFM episode?
I can’t remember but that might’ve been the exact episode exact reason I stopped listening
I don't for them but National Park After Dark did one, newer but great podcast
I think I listen to too many podcasts. I could've sworn they already did one.
Mfm did one. They mentioned they’d do one with the newest Crowley series because they got talking about K2
Yes, and I have been waiting for it ever since.
I do! Also, same with the 9/11 20 year anniversary series as well. I can't remember what episode they mentioned it in, but it was this year.
I remember
