“You know sometimes you read a bit about a really interesting topic late at night on Wikipedia, and you know you should be going to bed, but it's such a compelling rabbit-hole that you just can't resist reading on?
This podcast feels like that, except that instead of going it alone, two intelligent eloquent people distill the information into a fascinating story for you instead. Not to mention that it's also beautifully referenced (the historian in me is very admiring!). Very interesting story-telling so far, and I can't wait for more.
Obviously the stories have an inevitably grim undertone, but actually I found the story of the Uruguayan plane crash very moving and uplifting! I would enjoy some more analysis of the situations, decisions, and survival tactics used by the individuals involved in each case, but maybe that could come later in a kind of "recap" phase? Obviously it's also aa fine line not wanting to "judge" or criticise survivors though, it's a tricky balance.
Loved it so far, looking forward to learning lots more.”Read full review »
