- Make more episodes about hurricanes!
I love this podcast so much I listen to it every day but you need to make seasons quicker and stop taking one week to make episodes not wondery explicit.

I don’t like the stories in which people are tyrannized by others. I prefer to hear exciting stories about shipwrecks and mountain mishaps, etc.
Great writing, research, and presentation.

Audible5NANDUnited States2 months ago - Great events covered but ditch added drama
I really enjoy the adventures that you cover, and the stories are very compelling however, the added sound effects can be
over dramatic and the voice acting can be distracting. Love the survivors speak and Mike's sessions are preferred to Cassie's.
