Reviews
- Needs better editing
I listened to two episodes and kept getting so confused because information would be repeated and I kept checking to see if I had hit rewind somehow. But no, the editing is really poorly done. Whole 5-10 minute sections are repeated. Another episode just cut off in the middle of a sentence and it was over. What more the narrator goes off on tangents and talks about her own thoughts way too much. It got more and more irritating as it went. I tried… I really did.

I am so let down. Great subject matter but horrible everything else. more
Apple Podcasts1mjewell1010United Statesa month ago - Fun with some significant issues
Edit, January 2024: the same issues are extant, but I'm now noticing more errors of assumption, which detract further from the topics she covers.

Apple Podcasts3'MorphUnited States3 months ago - Great podcast!
Discovered this podcast by accident (no pun intended) and I really like it. Very well researched, very factual. I love the fact there is no music - too many disaster podcasts rely on emotion-hijacking through the music score. I love Jennifer’s intellectual curiosity in how she approaches topics, and the fact she covers international events, not only US ones. Yes she does sometimes ramble a bit but I think it helps create a more “natural” ambiance. Long may this little gem live ❤️.
