As we do our best to (literally) survive a global pandemic and rising racial tensions in a country that seems incapable of finding any common cause at the moment, and find ourselves in the horrific homestretch of the 2020 election we leave behind all the recriminations about how we got here or whose fault it is for a single golden hour to just be human together. We talk about values we share and imagine how we can live into a better place together as we will be putting the election behind us (hopefully) soon. We remember that when it’s all said and done, we’re neighbors. No politics, just people. Bring your forgiveness. (Also wish us luck.)

You probably know the broad strokes of the Donner Party Saga: In 1846, a group of migrants traveling to California got stuck in a surprise October snow storm. After exhausting all their resources, they turn to cannibalism to survive. It's a grisly tale ... but the way it's often told is incomplete. We’ll delve into the details many leave behind.
This is part one in a two-part series. Part two follows the Donner Party survivors after they escaped the mountains, and explores the fallout for the entire state of California. Find it now in the Bay Curious podcast feed.
