Norway7 months ago - The BBC for real?
A few lines in and the cheesy over the top cliche ridden narration is very off putting. Does the production team think this we’ll attract listeners? Like most other reviewers, this is not the style of documentary podcasting I listen to. BBC has done some fab series over the years, this is not one of them. Or am I biased against the Americanised cheese and cliche?

Excellent narrative. Gripping and engaging! I prefer life at sea level and can equate my own adventures as emotionally exhaustive if no where near as physical. I love that it ended with the healing it did for a few and hope that the remaining survivors have healed as well!
