Very much in the 'love it or hate it' category, this podcast covers both disasters you've certainly heard of (9/11, Titanic etc) and ones you probably haven't (The Vulcan Bridge, Air Mail Scandal of 1934) with the same attention to systemic, historic, and political impacts on whatever happened. Take for example the Hindenburg episode. Despite the title, as a comment on youtube points out, "this 3 hour podcast about the Hindenburg disaster reaches the construction of the Hindenburg at the 2 hour mark." Yet those first 2 hours, while filled with riffs and digressions, also include an incredible amount of history, following the development of lighter than air travel alongside the evolution of Germany, all the way to the rise of the Nazis, and sheer absurdity of how every single zeppelin crashed, and yet they kept building them anyway. For those who think the flippancy and dark jokes are in poor taste or are dismissive, I invite you to listen to the Bhopal Disaster, Grenfell Tower Fire, and Piper Alpha episodes. Frankly, listening to (yay!) Liam breaking off to go on a 5+ minute rant comparing the lack of COVID protections killing people in 2020 because companies would lose money, and bridge workers dying of the bends in 1873 because…companies would lose money, hit particularly hard as someone who witnessed crowds of people flooding the store I worked in while our local hospital had no space left in the ICU. Overall, this podcast fills a vital niche, and has gotten me through a terrible few years, despite being about disasters. And lastly, anyone saying Liam is annoying and interrupts too much is bad and wrong and Liam should actually interrupt more and derail the podcast at least every 2 minutes. Yay Liam!
