Hellish Islands: Stalin's Cannibal Island, & Why you're not allowed on North Sentinel Island

from Eavesdroppin'

This week on Eavesdroppin' comedy podcast, Geordie & Michelle head to some of the most hellish islands on Earth for a dose of danger...First up, Geordie looks at Nazino, Stalin's nightmarish "Cannibal Island," where in 1933, thousands of Soviet deportees were abandoned in the Siberian wilderness and society collapsed into unimaginable horror... Ie, what it says on the tin. Then she sails off to North Sentinel Island, home to one of the world's last uncontacted peoples who fiercely protect their isolation from the modern world by any means possible. this week, she tells the story of what happened when John Allen Chau, the missionary who ignored repeated warnings in an attempt to bring Christianity to the Sentinelese, stepped ashore North Sentinel and how he paid the ultimate price. So grab a brown lemonade and settle in as the duo chat Wuthering Heights day, James Franco, Jen's Nepalese chat and more on Eavesdroppin’.
