I followed this program for religiously when it was on the Wondery app. It's a great production and hope they find the following on Audible.
I’ve been listening to the story’s for a while and ever cliffhanger leaves me wondering what is going to happen in the next episode
I listened to this in my car and there is a scene where the hiker yells at his phone “Siri, Siri, call 911…emergency…”. Two minutes later I got a phone call from the local 911 dispatcher asking if I was ok. My phone heard the emergency words on the podcast and executed a 911 call. So watch your volume in that section.
This has been my go to for years. I always look forward to new episodes coming out. Even with one narrator, the episodes are so immersive.
I am amazed at this story and all the incredible people that helped the kids and their Coach. I also love how meditation helped them stay calm and helped the divers stay focused. Wow! What a great story.
