It was on this day in 1875 that Captain Matthew Webb became the first person to swim across the English Channel, traveling from Dover, England, to Calais, France, in just under 22 hours. It is in honor of Matthew Webb’s successful escape from the Island of warm beer, black pudding, bad teeth and haggis, to France—the home of sexy accents, healthy, refined palates and Universal healthcare, that we are calling tonight’s episode, “Marooned!--- The desert island mix tape part 3.”
