“Great pod been listing for years, listened to some seasons more than once.
They should do a series on the divers at deer island Boston, I’m actually suprised they haven’t yet.”

“I have listened to every episode multiple times as they are so well made. Ordinarily I tend to veer away from American podcasting as they can be disingenuous, but these presenters are natural story tellers and make you feel as though you are there standing alongside the characters”

“I’m so thrilled I found this podcast. I really enjoy the format, with the dramatisations and the sound effects and different narrators. It feels like a thriller style and it does shock me to think “Gosh this actually happened” I used to watch Ballen because I am a fan of the strange dark and...”Read full review »

“ATO does a great job of storytelling. However, the background music and absolutely over the top voices by both hosts is so cringe I can barely listen. It’s giving Acting 101 and it’s embarrassing.”

“I know this is a dramatisation but why on earth do the actors use American accents for Scottish and English characters?
As someone who lived through that incident and knew some of the people involved it makes the whole series unlistenable to me.”

“This podcast stories are good but long ads ruin the story and some of the episodes have swear words so unfortunately. We I can’t listen to this on a long drive with my siblings😢
Other wise this podcast is recommended for people who like survival stories.
Well done guys 😎”

“Please consider tweaking the sound effects. The length they run is REALLY annoying. It’s truly painful to listen while we’re also hearing the sounds of footsteps crunching along for what seems like 5 minutes! The effects run an atypically long time, that’s really annoying and it’s also just...”Read full review »

“I don’t give 5 stars often (always room for improvement, right?), but this podcast is so well done. It’s the perfect combination of drama and information. My favorite seasons have been the Paradise Fire and the Mt Hood Disaster. I’ve enjoyed reading some of their sources afterward as well.”

“Thanks for recreating the most harrowing mountaineering tale of all time on your channel. I’d already seen the movies and read all three books multiple times, including listening to Krakauer’s own tortured reading of Into Thin Air.
My one nitpick is about pronunciation:
- Lohtse rhymes with...”Read full review »

Easy listens but what does listening to hours a day of stories about...”Read full review »

“The added dialogue is terrible. Should have just stuck to the detailed information, exciting narrative and facts. Definitely turns a 5 star podcast, with in-depth information and exciting content, into a silly, cringe-worthy podcast.”
