Customer Reviews
Amazing
I cannot recommend this enough. Scott does such an amazing job of interviewing and the guests are so diverse with such incredible stories to tell. I have found moments of incredible relatability; complete surprise; sadness and joy… I have skipped certain episodes based on their titles alone and Scott always provides a brief synopsis at the start as a “heads up” of what’s to come. Big fan from Tasmania, Australia 🇦🇺
I’ve never cried during a podcast until now.
It’s hard to say that this is entertaining, especially whilst you are hearing people’s stories of grief and fear and misery and SHOCK. But this was honestly the best, (and I’ve listened to thousands of hours of podcasts).
Love your of, Scott!
I’m really enjoying this podcast. I usually find myself drawn to the true crime genre but it does start to become soul sucking, hearing all the doom and gloom.
This podcast is great because you get to hear survival stories. People going through some of the worst situations and living to tell the tale.
It’s already made me more cautious on the roads and sharpened my situational awareness. Thanks to the people who share their stories and thanks to Scott for being such a thoughtful and considerate host. Listening well and asking the questions we all would like the answer to!
