Having taken a duck boat tour during a middle school field trip to Boston back in the early 00’s, this episode was downright spooky, as well as incredibly sad, to listen to. 😰

Another great episode. I always saw these boats but never used them. What a heartbreaking and unnecessary tragedy.

Just finished listening to the latest @swindled.bsky.social episode. I can’t think of anything more abhorrent than poisoning service members and their families and then denying them healthcare. Our government should be ashamed of #camplejuene and what they allowed to happen
