Great podcast and even greater narrator!
Out of all of the survivor stories the crushed by corn one is my favorite and it just feels like that there’s a hidden lesson about life and how it can change is a split of a second. It just makes you wonder and think about life in a hole new way as a person. And I’m an almost a teen, this really feels like your in the situation and your the person in the situation. It’s amazing
The his podcast is to good I listened to half of it today n less then a week
Love the podcast. My grandma really likes saved by a humpback whale. It’s one of our favorite podcasts!😃😍🐋
These are some amazing real life stories and the narration is great! My only super small critique is I wish there was a *trigger warning* at the beginning of episodes that involve gruesome death (both animal and human) cus I’m just a sensitive little baby 🥲
