• 490 - The Acali, AKA The Sex Raft

  In 1973, eleven brave souls from around the world set out on a small raft for a completely isolated 101 day journey across the Atlantic Ocean - all in the name of science! But when the experiment wasn't yielding the predicted results, the organiser resorted to some pretty questionable practices. Sex, hot people, murder plots and more... this story has it all. This is a comedy/history podcast, the report begins at approximately 11:04 (though as always, we go off on tangents throughout the report).For all our important links: https://linktr.ee/dogoonpod Check out our other podcasts:Book Cheat: https://play.acast.com/s/book-cheatPrime Mates: https://play.acast.com/s/prime-mates/Listen Now: https://play.acast.com/s/listen-now/Who Knew It with Matt Stewart: https://play.acast.com/s/who-knew-it-with-matt-stewart/Our awesome theme song by Evan Munro-Smith and logo by Peader ThomasDo Go On acknowledges the traditional owners of the land we record on, the Wurundjeri people, in the Kulin nation.
