If you see a shark circling your boat, you should think purse. (instrumental music plays) Welcome to You're Wrong About, the podcast where sometimes we get a little bit lost. And today, we are of course joined by Blair Braverman, our survival correspondent. Blair has a suspenseful survival story for us today that was an absolute secret for me as I was preparing to record, and I am so excited for the journey she is about to take us on. You might remember Blair from previous fan favorite episodes covering such topics as Balto, Baby Jessica, The Miracle in the Andes, The Dyatlov Pass Incident, Aron Ralston, and Chris McCandless. Blair also has an amazing new children's book coming out. It's called The Day Leap soared. It's out on October 21st. It's about joy, it's about dogs, it's about so many of the things that you know and love about the episodes that she's been on, and so much more. As always, we have a lot of great bonus episodes for you on Patreon and Apple Plus. Go check them out there. And if you have a survival-related question for Blair, we have a post up on our Patreon where you can ask her some questions that might show up in an upcoming bonus
