Well this seems bleak (even for us). Thank you to everyone who found the show here! Please come find us wherever we all go next. We’ve got more stories to tell and more vans to [lightly] crash.
This is IMPRESSIVE. We are both honored AND concerned! Thank you so much for listening!

Spend some time with this show. Take a morning walk tomorrow and throw on the first episode if you haven’t listened.
I say this every time, but I’m always excited to see what @ColleenScrivs is doing.
This was worth the wait. I already know I’m going to listen more than once.
The final episode of Overlanders is here! Hope and Colleen reach the end of their journey as the members of the Donner Party try and move past the tragedy and into lives grand and small.

This is valid! And also why I wanted to make the show- to challenge the typical narrative. Thank you for giving us a shot!
I put off listening to @DonnerPartyPod for a bit bc despite being familiar with @ColleenScrivs I was worried it might turn out to be something that fully demonised everyone in the party from episode 1. But it’s not!!! And I really love that
Part 8 is here! Things are grim at the lake- but help is on the way.

In Part 7, desperate times call for desperate measures. 15 members of the Donner Party attempt to escape the Sierra on snowshoe. When they run out of supplies they are forced to do the unthinkable to save their families. Not a crowd pleaser, this ep.

Like our Donner Party, we are running late! Part 7: The Forlorn Hope will be in your feeds tomorrow - we promise it’s worth the wait

Part Six of our Donner Party podcast is here. We finally reach the Sierra. And the snow begins to fall.
Thank you! What a way to start our week
