Best Worst-Case Scenario

In 1692, a small Puritan community in Salem, Massachusetts, became consumed by fear, suspicion, and the belief that the Devil was among them. What began with a handful of mysterious illnesses and disturbing accusations quickly spiraled into one of the darkest chapters in American history.

In Part I, we uncover the events that set the witch trials in motion. We’ll explore the strict religious beliefs, simmering tensions, and strange occurrences that helped ignite the hysteria.

Stranded high in the Sierra Nevada Mountains with winter closing in, the Donner Party faces a tough choice: stay and slowly starve, or attempt the impossible. In Part 2 of our Donner Party series, we follow The Forlorn Hope – a desperate group seeking help who sets out on makeshift snowshoes to cross a frostbitten pass, littered with dangers, betrayal, and cannibalism in this cutthroat game where no one can be trusted.

Amidst the Hunger, cold, and constant blizzards, this story wrenches at the humanity that endures past the point of all desperation and darkness.

We're reigniting the Donner Party series after a holiday break.

On April 16, 1846, nine brand new wagons hit the road from Springfield, Illinois. These were the collective families of James Frazier Reed, as well as George and Jacob Donner. They left for California under clear skies and good intentions. Then they took a shortcut...

Join us on this brutal ride for part 1 of the Donner Party.
