  • Great variety & exceptional story telling

    This podcast is meeting a need!!!! Love the different types of podcast included by Drake. My son and I listen to a lot of the stories together. Very well done. The people interviewed have been inspiring. I’d recommend starting with the interview with Jimmy if you haven’t given them a try yet.

  • Sir Ernest Shackleton

    Thank you. Thank you for telling his story. My friends and I read Alfred Lansing’s book “Endurance: Shackleton’s Incredible Voyage” some 20 years ago. We coined the phrase “Shack up!” because of it. This podcast could have been hours long detailing his, and his crew’s, amazing will and determination for survival. Keep up the good work.
