    I love falling asleep to it or just listening to it for fun. The music makes so much suspense and I love it. Watching this on Apple Podcasts. My favorite seasons are meltdown at Fukushima and Piper Alpha. In my opinion I my least favorite thing in this podcast is the in their own words episodes.

  • Great series on Hugh Glass, except for rhe fact that the narrator calls Jim BRIDGER, Jim Bridges. Drives me nuts every time she does that.

  • With the usual reliable Wondery high production values, and a truly kick-ass theme song (why isn't this available to download?), 'Against the Odds' is a gripping podcast. Some stories grip a little harder than others - I especially enjoyed the Thai Cave rescue series, and the climbers in Uzbekistan. Recommended.
