  • Interesting but light disaster podcast

    I really enjoy this podcast. They aren’t super in depth but they get the main info, find some good disasters to cover and I like the chatter between them. I am still playing catch up because I discovered this just this year.

  • I really wanted to like it

    I’m not sure why podcasters think people are interested in your personal conversations with co hosts. We listen for the stories, events,facts. We are not listening to hear meaningless conversations.

    Please prepare script well, give us the story . That’s all we want .

    Your content looked interesting so thought I would try but couldn’t get past the first episode with so much wasted time waiting for meaningful content .

  • Okay

    I like the info and storytelling. Good research. I am not a fan of the profanity and blasphemy, so I'll find a different podcast to listen to.

  • Way, way too much rambling and giggling. Lady host is insufferable, constantly cackling. Go find a better disaster podcast, especially when it comes to discussion of the Challenger.
