Podcast: Surviving the deadliest day in Everest history

This week, Actuality meets two survivors of the deadly avalanche that struck Mt. Everest in April, before making our own ascent of the Everest Industrial Complex.

Plus, a flying bag of marijuana destroys a dog house.

This episode is based on Quartz reporter Svati Narula’s writing about her experiences in Everest base camp and the avalanche that killed 21 people there. We also speak with David Breashears, the accomplished mountaineer and filmmaker who invited Narula to join him at Everest to work with his NGO, Glacierworks, about his more than three decades of experience on Everest.
