Just a few miles off the Thailand coast, the island of Kothau looks like a postcard.

I'd underneath the surface lies something sinister.

In the last 20 years dozens of tourists have died mysteriously on the island.

A dark cloud who's come over the island, death, mystery and danger.

Listen to Death Island every Wednesday on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

Welcome to It Could Happen Here, a podcast about things falling apart and sometimes putting things back together.

Today we're doing an episode that's more on the intellectual and emotional end of a very specific set of things falling apart.

Rather than clumsily try to introduce it myself, I'm going to bring on the person who I think some of the thoughts that have been going through my head,

Part of the reason I shifted my focus to trying to be just entertaining is because deep down I don't really see a lot of value in getting people on my side anymore.

I don't think it does anything or means anything, but the best I can do is give you information and hopefully a laugh.

I used to feel like I was participating in something bigger than I think I really am.
