Fun disaster podcast

Really enjoying this disaster podcast. Is it the most indepth, super detailed podcast out there? No. But it is entertaining, gives you the details of the disasters, and is fun to listen too. Really like the details Anthony brings from working in the fire world, his insight there really shines.

I keep coming back!

Disaster stories told well. I appreciate the detailed introductions which help me to understand the background and flawed assumptions which make many of the disasters almost unavoidable. I keep coming back! Thanks Anthony.

Terrible!

The storyteller certainly knows how to "beat a dead horse"! Listening to the repetition and needless explanations makes one feel like a child without understanding. Sorry.
