Crawling around underground isn't for everyone, especially the hosts of the Stories podcast.  But there are some for whom exploring caves is their life's work.  Probably the best known of these is Floyd Collins, who lost his life when he got stuck in the Sand Cave in eastern Kentucky.  Today we tell the story of the rescue operation mounted to save Floyd and the media circus that effort triggered.

Stories is available on RadioPublic, Apple Podcasts, TuneIn, or on your favorite podcast app.
