I initially found this podcast/show on TikTok and have been hooked every since. I’ve been listening to him ever since. I like that he defines different types of disasters for those who don’t know and gives adequate information so that we’re able to go along this journey with him. I’ve enjoyed every episode & TikTok thus far and hope it continues for a long time.

I'm a big history buff and love a history podcast. This show is a whole new take on the classic history podcast focusing exclusively on disasters. Anthony always tells a detailed and human story including all the cause and effect. He holds the guilty parties responsible and always honors the victims and heroes of stories. All while keeping them engaging and addicting.

A fire investigator’s perspective makes this really informative. The warm personality makes this interesting rather than sensational. It has surprisingly cozy vibes for such horrific topics.

Apple Podcasts5necox27United States3 months ago - I’m giving you 5 stars but….
I love your podcast as I listen to them in work as I go around and do my work , I find that the subjects you select are interesting and informative. But there is a small issue on your technical side of the podcast, is that your sound is really low and I have to wack up the volume level to max on my car to hear what you are saying ! Other than that you’re brilliant. Thank you .
