  • Hate the new format

    Please tell one complete story and then move onto the next. Do not chop them up. It’s very irritating. Previous format was much better.

  • Love this show but

    Why do the I survived episodes go back and forth instead of stories being told one at a time? I really dislike it and now I can’t listen ☹️

  • new choppy editing is awful

    Agree with other reviews - jumping around between stories is disjointed. At first I thought it was an editing glitch until listening to multiple new episodes in a row.

  • This podcast is falling apart

    The last two episodes of the survived series now weaves three different stories simultaneously…it’s horrible! Why would you do this, please tell one story though at a time.

  • Lost a long time listener

    The new format is so awful. You’ll learn eventually, but you should’ve already known after your first failed attempt at doing something new if you read the comments on Spotify.

    I’m unfollowing & will check back in a month or two to see if you decided to take the listener feedback seriously.

    I cannot follow story lines that jump around like this. It’s ridiculous that you think anyone would like this format.
