  • Keep Orginal Story Format

    I really enjoy this podcast but the way the most recent episode “Is this what death is like?” is presented in a scattered order and it’s very annoying that it’s going back and forth between stories. Please keep the original format used on the previous episodes where each story is told individually.

  • Why did you ruin a good thing ?

    This used to be good. Now it's several short stories, broken up in order so you're jumping from each before the other is done. Terrible, and then you've got the random narration stating the obvious. What a waste.

  • Is this what death is like?

  • Amazing podcast, but not loving the new story format

    absolutely love I Survived it’s one of my favorite podcasts to listen to, and I’ve been a loyal fan for a long time. The storytelling is always powerful, emotional, and so well done.

    But I have to be honest… I’m not a fan of the new episode layout. Breaking the stories up instead of telling each one fully from start to finish makes it harder to stay connected and follow along. One of the things I’ve always loved is hearing a complete story all the way through.

    I’ll definitely keep listening beca... more
