Part One: Rebirth
For the past four years, Emily Richmond has been sailing around the world, by herself. Every few months, she is reborn onto the shores of a new land, where no one knows her, until one day, she docks at a port where people seem to be expecting her. Steve Callahan was also reborn at sea, but only after being lost in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean on a tiny life boat for two and a half months. Plus, the story of a caveman who contemplates the mysteries of birth back before anyone knew how babies are made. Featuring Howard Chackowicz and Nelleke Dagher. Special music thanks to Podington Bear from the Free Music Archive. This episode is not available for on-demand listening, but you can purchase it on iTunes.
