Wow! It astounds me that I never knew the story behind the Apollo 13 mission. I love anything space and our space program and let this slip past. Honestly, these men should have a day set aside in honor. Sean Brady tells this riveting account of this mission with such clarity that keeps you captivated throughout. They had guts! Anyone would’ve melted down under the pressure. For sure. Don’t miss this fantastic pod!!

A friend recommended this to me and while space isn’t a subject I’m usually very interested in, this had me on the edge of my seat the entire way through. Absolutely fascinating story and beautifully told!
Excellent!

I didn’t know what to expect when I started listening to this podcast. I was hoping for something interesting enough to pass an hour or so. I ended up listening to all six episodes back to back. Every episode was so compelling and so perfectly crafted. I look forward to recommending this one!
Amazing

What an incredible podcast! So enjoyable! Apollo 13 was an amazing successful failure. And the narrator brings to light so many facts not told before!

From the first few sentences, I already couldn’t stand the narrator’s accent. I want to listen to this podcast, but will pass.
Great Content, Needs Better Delivery
01/26/2021
This podcast provides some excellent supplemental information and tidbits from the Apollo 13 mission while trying to describe, in detail, the feeling of being moments away from disaster from the astronauts' and NASA team's perspectives. The content here is fantastic --- the narration follows most of the transcripts from mission audio, including discussions between the astronauts aboard the spacecraft as well as their communications with NASA. Unfortunately, the narration itself suffers in its delivery. Rather than actual mission audio, the narrator (an enthusiastic Sean Brady) reads off line by line from transcripts of conversations, lending to the podcast having a very conversational feel even though it discusses intense, technically complex events. There were many twists and turns through the entire mission that were intense, but the manner in which the dialogue sounded like a long run on sentence broke me out of focusing on that danger. There were also several moments where Sean Brady changed the cadence of his narration to apply emphasis, but not all of these moments seemed to need that level of gravitas. I had hoped also that the podcast would delve more into the the more detailed mechanics of what was happening and why at each major obstacle of the mission since a forensic engineering firm helped gather the info for the podcast. In general I enjoyed the content within the podcast and would love for this same team to release another season covering a different mission. Hopefully they are able to use actual mission audio next time!
