A British family’s fight for survival

A new podcast series Adrift shares the true story of the Robertsons, a young British family who sold everything they owned in the early 1970s to sail around the world. But when disaster strikes, their dream voyage turns into a desperate fight for survival in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

With immersive audio, first-person accounts, and exclusive interviews revealing never-before-heard details, Adrift takes listeners inside the Robertsons’ extraordinary journey, following parents Dougal and Lyn, their teenage son Douglas, 12-year-old twins Sandy and Neil, and young hitchhiker Robin, as they find themselves hundreds of miles from land with no radio, few supplies and sharks circling.

Stranded in the vast emptiness of the ocean, they must rely on ingenuity, instinct and one another to survive. But even surrounded by danger, the greatest challenges they face may come from within. To listen to the eight episode series, click here.
