117.2 - The Survival Story of Aron Ralston

We all love survival stories, don’t we? Watching men and women find food and water, seeing them build shelters out of sticks, stones, and leaves—it’s a common theme on reality television. But every now and then, real life gives us an even more unbelievable story. Stories of people who come face to face with death… and somehow survive.

Today, you’ll hear the incredible story of Aron Ralston. You might already know it if you’ve seen the movie 127 Hours. If you haven’t, you’re in for quite a ride.

Take a deep breath, though, Aron survives. And if you’re eating right now, you might want to pause the episode and come back after you’ve finished your meal. Don’t say I didn’t warn you! Let’s get started.
