  • Even if you don’t like ships

    The story telling and production quality is great. Well researched and good discussions about not only the ship wreck, but the situation and actions leading up to / changes as a result of and the human side. Hosts are just good people. I listen all day during project weekends.

    Too much politics for the title of podcast

    Left wing. Biased. Sadly it’s to much work to shift from your bias to shipwreck stories otherwise would be enjoyable.

  • They know their stuff and do the work

    Other than being from Michigan I have no nautical knowledge or experience. I came here for a few pods on the Edmund Fitzgerald but I am hooked! I have listened to podcasts since they first came out in the early 2000s. This is a very good and unique podcast that is so much more interesting than the cookie cutter big podcasts being pushed out by so many big players. This is the kind of thing that the medium promised. Love it!
