I really want to like this podcast
I love that this podcast covers a variety of disasters, often ones that aren’t widely covered. Plus there are very few disaster podcasts. However, it drives me nuts how the podcast host applies her cultural outlook to situations and persons, especially given she doesn’t seem to have much experience beyond her little town. From being completely ignorant of the power of the Saudi royal family to assuming that the poor black seniors in 1995 Chicago were scared of the police and scams not violence on the streets to not understanding the motivations of rich Parisian women in the nineteenth century, it is very frustrating. Especially frustrating is that often the information is not esoteric and often in the sources she would be referencing, so I don’t know why she does it. She could also definitely work on her scripts; I often like a random off-topic discussion but there’s often a lot of repeated or completely irrelevant information that just ends up being confusing.

Hey Jennifer- stick to disasters and stop talking politics like you did on your Malaysia flight episode. You are not enlightened.

One of the best podcasts around. Informative, real and compassionate and sometimes very poignant. Great for a night shift too! Thanks Jennifer appreciate the hard work gone into this
