What I Survived explores the extraordinary true stories of people who survived the unthinkable. Each story takes you back to who these people were before everything changed, then inside the moment their lives were pushed to the edge, shipwrecked at sea for weeks, held captive by terrorists, falling 15,000 feet from a plane after a parachute failure, and other extreme, life-or-death situations.

I was exited to find a new podcast like this one! Highly recommend.
*Friendly suggestion for sound editors-adjust the guests’ voices for better listening clarity. They occasionally sound muffled.
Season 1 is absolutely incredible. I cannot wait to start season 2. Highly recommend this to everyone.
It’s hard to tell what if any fact checking the podcast did on what they claim to be a “true” story. The season with Chad seems to be several hours of someone unmedicated just venting.
Engaging true stories and eps aren’t too long.
Please match audio levels from remote guests to the host’s audio. Great stories, though. Guests are muffled, or maybe that is a spy technique.😀
