- Each season gets more melodramatic
These stories are dramatizations - fine, but why is it getting progressively more melodramatic? Stories drag on too slow over too many episodes. The young girl having an existential crisis sounds more like a middle aged person’s concerns than a teenager’s. It also feels like there is less time dedicated to facts and more time spent on the incredibly cheesy made up stuff

Apple Podcasts5Toodles39United States15 days ago - Cassie needs to stop impersonating male characters
Love the show. Can’t help but cringe massively when it’s Cassie’s turn to narrate and she does this stupid husky male voice. They got black actors in to impersonate the characters in the New Orleans series, why can’t they get Mike to do the male voices? or even Cassie just to use her normal voice to narrate men? It’s so ridiculous, it ruins whole series, honestly. Other than that, I love it, would’ve been 5 stars

Love this podcast, shows how amazing the human spirit can be. As an oil and gas worker I loved the piper Alpha series. Have you thought of doing a series on Chris Lemons, there is a doco and movie called the last breath.
