    The Alaska Ranger fishing trawler, jokingly referred to by the crew as the “Danger Ranger,” steams off toward a school of mackerel in the Bering Sea. Kenny Smith and 46 others are onboard the beat up, rusty boat, hoping to make up for a disappointing winter fishing season. But the trawler lives up to its nickname when an engineer discovers out-of-control flooding below deck.

Amazing! Once I started I couldn’t stop!

I was engaged from the very moment the story begun and I couldn’t let go of it until I finished! Top notch quality and have already recommended to many friends. Keep up the excellent work!

Looking for something different but not sure what??

This story was an absolute perfect bit of audio that is new but still relatable.

Above Water

So this is a podcast.
The story is great. Interviews telling the story about a ship that sank and the rescue. Forty seven men went in the water twenty two came out. The interviews are believable; they're not goofy dramatic. Okay, maybe once or twice, this gets a pass because it was freezing. And who gets rescued and who meets Davies Jones locker?

Nailed It!

Flynn captures an amazingly complex rescue operation keeping me listening until the credits rolled at the end. "Wait...What?" I thought after hitting play and starting the first episode based on the unusual way to start. Amazing how he was able to capture the emotions of the fisherman and the Coast Guard rescuers throughout each episode.

Full heart stopping action

I wasn’t sure if this was for me or not. Once I started, I could t stop. Unbelievable tale of bravery on so many different fronts.

Loved it!

This was a really interesting story and it was told with great skill. I enjoyed hearing directly from many of the survivors. I hope more podcasts on other wrecks will follow.
