Whether natural or man-made, disasters attract a strange mixture of horror and fascination. However, the spectacle of devastation is only ever one part of the story. Take a closer look, and you will find tales of extraordinary human endurance and heroism, stories that veer from the horrific to the oddly humorous, and lessons that can be learned to make our world safer.
From the Titanic to the Costa Concordia, the Station nightclub fire to the Pulse nightclub shooting, these extraordinary events – and the people involved – are examined on the Great Disasters podcast, written, researched, recorded and produced by me, Kari Fay.
From official reports, first-person accounts, and contemporary media, I delve into the often-appalling details of these events to bring you the full story.

Customer Reviews
One of the best!!!
This podcast is one of the best researched and well presented podcasts I’ve ever listened to. Just her 9/11 5 part series deserves an award. It was so thorough and had so many details I’d never heard before in the 20 years since the attacks. Kari is a wonderful host and her presentation is superb. I only wish she did more but obviously being a one woman show is a lot of work. Kudos to you Kari!!
Fantastic
I’ve enjoyed this podcast for quite a while now. Kari Faye does an excellent job on every aspect of production and presentation. Her multi-part series on 9/11 was simply exquisite.
LISTEN!!!
This podcast needs to be heard! I’ve been meaning to review it for some time, but now I must. I just listened to the series on 9/11… No where else have I heard the detail that Kari offers. She doesn’t shy away from truth; in ANY of her stories.
