“I really like this show. It’s an overview of situations, it doesn’t claim to be a deep dive on all the details. I think the hosts pick out the most interesting facts and they react with appropriate emotion without being dramatic.”

“This show offers little detail, it’s as if the hosts just read an article and repeat it. One host asks the other hosts questions about the story and the answer is always I don’t know or speculation. No real research done. I could just read a new article myself.”

“I’ve never been one to bother reviewing a podcast before but this is so painfully bad somebody needs to talk reality here…so many reviewers of this show must be VERY easily pleased….as it’s absolutely, irredeemably awful. The presenters sound mostly bored, and the level of research is so...”Read full review »

“I love the medical background the hosts bring to these stories. It’s my favorite thing about this show. The hosts share a lot of medical stories from their experience in treating patients.
The more nitty-gritty medical explanations, the better the episode!”

“I really do want to like this podcast. I believe the intentions of the hosts to entertain and educate are genuine. However, there is an obvious lack of basic research and preparation that I find troubling. For example, on the recent episode about the eruption of Mount Saint Helens one of the...”Read full review »

“Listening to 2 women talk instead of telling a story as per the premise is not what I expected from the title of the podcast. Tell the story. Do the chatter after if need be.”

“I’ve learned the best podcasts have: 1- no giggling 2- one host. More than one host usually means a bad podcast. I saw the story descriptions, and thought this was going to be a good story- telling podcast. Then within 15 seconds the giggling begins, and you can tell the host is reading, and not...”Read full review »

“The information being put out is not novel, and for the confidence with which it is expressed it isn’t dispelling any myths or informing at the cutting edge. Also, advertisements are frustratingly inserted literally mid-sentence. There are better out there, keep looking.”

“I really want to listen to more of this but it drives me crazy that the commercials are literally in the middle of their sentences. Takes you right out of the story. It’s aggravating. I think the podcast could be much better otherwise.”

“Even though I have heard many of the stories before, I enjoy the details and safety discussions that you share.
But -now that you have sponsors, please turn down the volume on the ads!
I use earbuds and find it very annoying to have the loud ads.
Thank you!”

However there is obviously lack of enthusiasm and research done for these episodes.
The show has potential if there was more effort put into researching and reporting on the topics. Too many interruptions...”Read full review »

“I listened to the first episode produced in 2021 and found it incredibly irritating. McIntosh and Bennington sound like lazy unintelligent young women. I’m not saying they are lazy and unintelligent. They must be the opposite if this podcast is still being produced in 2024. They sound mostly...”Read full review »

“This was one of the most disrespectful episodes I have ever listened to. Comments about men ‘peeing in their pants’ cause they were so scared and laughing about it and saying that when they went into the water ‘at least their pee was warmer than the ocean’. Experiences like this are no joke-...”Read full review »

“Despite having great content to work with the two speakers ruin this show. They put in minimal effort to truly understand and describe the amazing survival stories. It is a real pity and one episode is one too many.”
