From Colonel to Cannibal: Frigate Méduse

Sail through history with us, from the height of the Spice Trade to the halls of the Louvre, aboard the legendary French frigate La Méduse. Hailed as the quintessential French warship, she saw fierce action during the Napoleonic Wars—yet her story didn’t end there.

In fact, if fortune favors you, you can still visit a fragment of her today—something cohost Julia was lucky enough to do and recount.

This episode dives into a discussion of naval trade from the 16th to 19th centuries, a dollop of Napoleonic history, and the disastrous voyage of a vain captain whose crew paid the price - a classic shipwreck saga. Get ready, it's time to Get Wrecked!

Sad Story of the MV Sewol

Recommended by a great college pal, Gaby, this shipwreck is one of the darkest ones we’ll ever cover. A routine ferry ride from Incheon to Jeju in South Korea in the 90s goes horribly wrong, with cabins full of children and a crew lacking any nautical experience. This wreck is haunted for sure, and listen in to learn more.
