When I stared listening to disaster podcasts I felt in my head wow this is really grim...I had just started listening to podcasts and I really was listening to any disaster podcast I could get my hands on! 

I thought maybe I had stumbled upon something strange with these podcasts and felt like there was something wrong with me that I would listen so intently on people dying. But that really changed for me with this podcast bc as I listened the podcasters gave such wonderfully researched information and also would let us know positive changes that happened bc of these disasters! 

I realized it’s not grim it’s interesting and informative and almost always positive changes came about bc of these disasters! 

The podcasters really are enjoyable to listen to and they do play actual newscasts from those accidents that have them which I find fascinating.  I feel like I’m listening in on a conversation between knowledgeable people who really care about what they’re saying!

Very interesting podcast!

If you like comedy with your cup of satire then this os the place for you. I love the podcast and I’m a train lover as well
