    Yet another episode where a man survives feats of outdoor derring-do and a woman survives the selfish actions of a man.

  • Repeated stories…

    I’m so confused, if there are so many seasons of the I Survived show, why are the same stories being repeated over and over again on this podcast?

  • Please just say it is a re-release

    I get so annoyed when it is a story previously released and you can’t just let us know. I haven’t listened in weeks because of this. Stopped recommending it to others too.
