In the Shadow of the City

Here is a great, and very funny, true story about some guys on a "yatch", and their adventure of being shipwrecked on an island in Jamaica Bay last spring. Listen and find out how Alex Zharov ends up "stranded and bleeding within view of the Empire State Building". I really like the story and I plan on paddling out there this summer to see the ruins on the island and camp out... I don't want to give any of the surprises away, you really have to hear it to believe it. It's the first act of an episode of "This American Life". There is a short intro story about Chicago, and then the story titled "Brooklyn Archipelago". Here's a link to the TAL website where you can download the story. http://www.thislife.org/Radio_Episode.aspx?sched=1174 I got it on itunes as a podcast for free.
