  • Incredible Stories but…

    These stories are amazing and inspiring, however it’s annoying that the podcast creators don’t indicate when they’re republishing an old story. There are some stories that have been published 3 times as if it’s a new one. I don’t mind when podcasts re-air old stories, but you should indicate that in the description.

  • Repeats are Frustrating

    Frustrated with all these repeats. Don’t most new listeners go back to each season if the really like it? So why do the current have to listen to the same stories again? It’s annoying and frustrating to see a new episode up but it’s not actually new.

  • Clumsy story strings

    When a single story is told in one ep, it is always well constructed and clear. But when two or more stories are told in a piece meal string of segments in one episode, it is a mess; a dog's breakfast.

    Just tell each short story in it's entirety with it's own beginning, middle and end with an ad break before moving on to the next short story.

    That's KISS Storytelling 101 - Keep It Simple, Seriously.

    Stitching multiple stories together does not work - it is a discombobulated narrative soup, at ... more

  • Repeats

    I like the podcast. There are a lot of repeat episodes, and I never know that they are repeats until I start listening. It would be great if they could be marked as such so that I don’t waste my time.

  • What do people expect!

    Negative reviews regarding harrowing experiences. This is about survivors who have experienced terrible events in their lives, not stepped on a nail in the floorboard! These people fought against the odds and lived to tell their story. Yes, I cried at some of these life events but the clue is in the title ‘I Survived’.
