  • THE Survival Story Podcast

    This podcast has been good since its inception-love the variety of survival stories, from the Shackleton’s Antarctic mega story to a fascinating first hand account of a lone survivor in modern Joshua Tree Ntl Park. The dramatization is compelling and not over done. If you live for survival stories, this podcast is a treasure.

  • Mike’s Seasons Are Good, Skip Cassie’s

    Pretty awesome how many stories this series has been able to tell, awesomely put together with immersive audio and dialogue, etc. I do however, strongly prefer Mike’s seasons over Cassie’s.

Her performance acting out characters and voices is wildly unconvincing, sometimes almost laughable. The stories are often interesting, I just can’t stand Cassie’s telling of them. A group of people reacting w... more
