    Sep 30 2025

    On a sunny Sunday morning in 2017, a man in an SUV pulled up outside a small white church in Sutherland Springs, TX. The people inside would become the targets of the weapons he carried. But when he sped away about twenty minutes later, he would be the one escaping gunfire.

I like the podcast and I like the host, but I have 2 issues.

1) I don't know if it's Audible being glitchy or some weird editing mistake, but nearly every episode has a 5-10 minute chunk of audio that just repeats for no reason. It drives me a little crazy. I may try listening on another platform to see if it is just here.

2) Again, I like the host. She does her research well and she has a way of delivering things in a way that's respectful. That said, she has a tendency to go off on tangents. An episode I just listened to was supposed to be about one topic, but she spent what felt like half of it talking about...how many books she read when she was young? And she does this to at least some extent every episode and some are less irrelevant than others. It just isn't an aspect of the show that I enjoy.

I haven't been listening to this podcast series long and I'm listening to them out of order (skipping some episodes I have no interest in or which I know the story of already). I like this series and the impromptu style of the host. Also, it's great that she's hosting on her own. The multi-host shows are almost always awful in structure where the main point of the series fails to be delivered. In this particular episode, there's a weird, annoying and unexplained bong sound (like someone hitting a barrel with a bat in another room or something) that repeats intermittently. Apart from that, this is an entertaining listen and the host has a nice voice to listen to (she keeps her levels fine...the bong is about the same volume level).

Bong! Seconds or minutes later....Bong!

Excellently researched, excellent delivery. Subject matter is respected but there is no flinching away from unpleasantness.

My favorite disaster podcast!

Leave your politics out of it. Too much bias. Just the facts please. stop the preaching.
