On a sunny Sunday morning in 2017, a man in an SUV pulled up outside a small white church in Sutherland Springs, TX. The people inside would become the targets of the weapons he carried. But when he sped away about twenty minutes later, he would be t... more

A week ago, the Guadalupe River in Texas overflowed its banks and swept away dozens of campers. It turns out that this is not the first time it's done so - and not the first time some of those campers didn't survive.

I am so happy I stumbled upon this podcast. I have listened to hours of it now and loved 80% of it. Such great coverage of so many interesting stories. But the endings when she goes off script go on and on and on. Just stop. The podcast is amazing and the fast forward button will be your friend at the beginning and end of every episode.
Upon listening to episode 251 it is apparent that this podcast is very politically motivated. If you were going to run a disaster podcast, you should stick to the disaster and the fact that you have. There is no reason to make the podcast itself, politically motivated, and talk chunk about the country that we live in. If you want to do that, make a political podcast. Unsubscribing.
Good job. Good read. Good info. Hard work…hope it turns from volunteer to well paid!
Straight and to the point and still well-researched and full of detail. Interesting cases, often obscure. Keep it up!
