Brilliant and tactfully hilarious.
Just adore this pod, sounds like it’s super niche and there wouldn’t be enough content but trust me that is not the case!! So much more than just survival cannibalism… historical stories presented in an entertaining and informative way. Who knew doomed Antarctic exploration would have so many laughs.
Really hoping these ladies come back for more episodes in the future.
This might sound like a particularly niche podcast subject, but each episode is a completely fascinating, informative story of survival cannibalism, told with compassion and a good bit of humour. Genuinely get excited every time theres a new episode out
The dry humor, the quality of research, the storytelling and of course - the cannibalism!!! Please don’t stop! Think you could do an episode on the archeological evidence of human self-extinction on Easter Island?
I actually started listening to this podcast because I am connected to a survivor of one of these episodes professionally and wanted to hear more about their experience. Needless to say after the one episode I was hooked! Binged this in just a few days. Keep it up ladies!
