“Hard to listen to a show with so many ads. There are too many in this podcast and they’re too long. I know it’s somewhat unfair to criticize one specific show for the entire podcast ad environment. But I’m listening to fewer and fewer shows now because there are too many ads in them. It’s time...”Read full review »

“The podcast has great production and poses interesting questions but the suffers from the problem many podcasts experience. The host has certain expectations that result in his bias coming through at times when interviewing subjects who do not agree with his view. It often creates a more...”Read full review »

“I really enjoyed Season 1 from Laist Studios. It did an excellent job of portraying what The Big One was, why it's expected, and how people should react before, during and after that event. But this season, which they represent in their own byline as a survival guide for wildfires, is...”Read full review »

“I just completed listing to Episode 5 and I am so very humbled. There is so much I did not know or realize about the indigenous communities that lived here before Europeans arrived on this land. Please listen and learn. I trust that Mr. Margolis will help see a way forward.”

“Is it possible to just make a podcast and let people enjoy your work and NOT make it political???? Not everyone is going to agree with each other’s opinions on certain stances and once you step on my toes I’m going to delete your podcast and move on.”

“What they did here is incredible. It should be mandatory listening for all living in Los Angeles.
The tips at the end of each episode we’re for sure the most informative and important part, plus Micha has such a great radio voice!
I really hope they continue to add to the Siri”

“To live in LA, we buy into a cultural cognitive dissonance that perceives a major quake as a possibility rather than an inevitability. And we can’t meaningfully prepare while we deny the risk we incur on behalf of ourselves and children.
This woke me up to the reality of the impact. While...”Read full review »
