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.

United States16 days ago 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.
Podcast Addict516 days agodustysbackkkWith 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.
