“I love that this podcast covers a variety of disasters, often ones that aren’t widely covered. Plus there are very few disaster podcasts.

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.”
