Alexander Selkirk was Marooned

from That Time When

Is it possible that Robinson Crusoe was inspired by a goat-man? This week on That Time When, Amelia tells us about Alexander Selkirk, a real life Robinson Crusoe who managed to survive for years on a deserted island thanks to the timely intercession of some sea-lions, a pack of friendly cats, and some cabbages that had no rightful business being there. No, I'm not making any of that up.
