The taliban episode is breathtaking. There’s no other way to describe it. Read by Jere himself. The man in Parliament is the epitome of love. I’m an optimistic person and a positive person and when I heard him mention the member of parliament I just knew that who threw him under the bus from the very start of his journey. And I don’t air on the side of scrutiny and negativity. It was natural for me to think that, and when I was so mistaken, it took my breath away and showed me once again how truly deep down we do all of each other.

I walk and jog a lot for exercise and my mental health. This podcast had helped me so much. Some episodes trigger memories from my past and I tell everyone I know about it to be aware and listen to possibly save their own lives.

Flat you ditched the long after stories. Make a new story for after the fact… Much better format.

I used to love this show when I would randomly come across it. I recently rediscovered it through this podcast and I love listening to episodes while walking my dogs and also while in the car for long periods of time. It helps the time to go by so fast. On the actual show they would put information on the screen so if you walked away you would lose track of what was going on, so I love how the podcast tells the story through the person’s point of view and also the narrator fills in the gaps. The stories are so interesting!

Half the episode is adds. It’s so annoying and makes the podcast not listenable. I unfollowed it just today. Not a fan of the addition of extra adds

Changing my 5 star review to a 3. I miss the aftermath. It is so focused on the gore and descriptions. I personally don’t need that. I love hearing their story of triumph.

Usually, when things are reworked or revamped, it ends up being one of those “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” situations. That is so not the case here. I stopped following this show maybe a year ago? When a girlfriend sent me a recent episode, I decided to give it a try again, in spite of myself. I’m so glad that I did. What a difference! I’m loving the new host, and the slight changes in the way the stories are presented. It’s always fun to discover a new podcast that I actually like. Although this one may not be literally new, it definitely *feels* new and refreshed. Looking forward to hearing more!

I like the new format’s idea of telling more than one story in an episode, but what is lost is the in-depth discussion of the aftermath and what this experience has meant for the person going forward. I miss hearing more about what the person’s life was like immediately afterwards, and how they’re doing now. Maybe two stories an episode would allow for variety but also thoughtful reflection. That might also better respect the person’s whole experience.

Such interesting stories!

I love this podcast it prepares me for whatever will happen if it does but I really enjoy it

I was excited when I saw them promoting that new episodes were finally coming, however these “new” episodes are in fact not new. the reason the format has completely changed from what it was is because these are old episodes of the A&E TV show I Survived. this is no longer a podcast based off the I Survived show that dives deeper into each individual story and the aftermath, it is quite literally episodes of the actual TV show, edited together to be one full story at a time instead of jumping back and forth on each story as the show does. for example, the episode on here titled ‘If I Play Dead He Wouldn’t Shoot Me Again’ is from season one and aired all the way back in 2008. it’s incredibly obvious when the commercial breaks were too - when the person says something, it’s quiet for a few moments, then the person says it again but worded differently - or when the host is suddenly & unnecessarily recapping what was just said 20 seconds ago.

I like true crime pod casts. I do like this one as well it’s when they put on things about IBM and other totally different subjects I really don’t care for that. Either do the real pod cast or nothing at all.

Instead of 1 episode with lots of discussion of the aftermath, now there are 3 more succinct stories. Much more enthralling.

I’ve heard nothing new but maybe one or 2 episodes then promos of a different show, just say you have no material or host and let viewers decide if they want to listen.

The new episodes don’t feel as well reported or as engaging! The host’s new show Lived To Tell is more like the old seasons I loved so much

Please put a disclaimer when children die in your episodes!

It’s nice to have new episodes, but I feel like the old format was more impactful. These are such quick little stories. I prefer the longer stories, but that’s just my opinion!

I really liked the humanity and the really getting to know the survivors in the previous format, learning how they survived and how they’re doing now, but now it’s so heartless? Like there’s just a machine interviewing survivors without any care or concern for them. I liked this podcast over the others because it wasn’t just trauma but how it was overcome in time, that’s gone now

New format is trash. Bring back the old host or forget it. It’s so dime a dozen now.

Much better format, thank you!!

So Annoying flipping from one story to the next on the TV show and now here… We love all of the amazing stories one at a time..

This used to be a great podcast. The new episode is just a rehash of the tv episodes. The value of the previous format was the interaction of the host with the survivor and the story of what happened after the incident. Bring the former host and format back!

All the episodes are repeats. Just stop the show or put new content out

Put out new episodes or inform us that you are done.

I enjoyed each episode the first time. The same season keeps looping over and over with a new start date. This is rather annoying and should be fixed.

I’d like to start by saying that the victim’s and survivor’s stories are incredible and they are absolutely amazing so brave for telling their stories for everyone to hear. However from a podcast standpoint, it’s the same episodes that keep circulating. It’s not new. I’ve heard everything 3x over and they just keep playing the same season over and over again. This used to be an enjoyable podcast but it’s repetitive now and I feel as if they’re not giving other survivors the opportunity to share their stories.

Please stop saying your new episodes are reruns. Please come out with new content or stop uploading at least

This used to be a good podcast but all you here lately is the same episodes over and over again which also plays on another podcast as well pretty much in the same week. Maybe sadly time to end 😞

Please bring new episodes! This is so frustrating! All you’re doing is replaying the same ones over and over

They are literally just posting the same story over and over…..I don’t want to hear the same story multiple times. What is the point??

They recycle the same episodes over and over again and pretend like they’re new releases. So, I would say that if you enjoy the same episodes repeated- this is the podcast for you!

This podcast was good back in 2021 when the content was original. They have been only reposting episodes since then.

Excellent series. Admirable people. Well produced. The hardest 20 yards I walked: I feel terrible for her but she was hard to listen to, her grammar, the multiple “I was like” and “like” and her laughing at certain situations was odd. Mentioning the $1,000 she received “oh, that’s cool” and other strange comments. She was a teacher?!

Love the podcast, but it’s pretty disheartening to see a “new” episode released but it’s another rerun. Better to just stop uploading than continuously rereleasing the same episodes every week. Officially unfollowed!

Please label re-released episodes. It's very annoying trying to figure out if I've heard an episode once or even twice before.

This podcast basically repeats the same episode every 8 weeks

I loved this show, but at this point they been playing it repeat episodes longer than that actually had new content. I’m out ✌🏽

The stories on this podcast are riveting. The incredible lives people are living we know nothing about just makes me appreciate the life I’ve had, even with all the tragedy, I can seem to somehow get through my own life, I can’t believe how much they’ve been through How they’ve come back together and found themselves whole again.

If you’re going to continue to just repeat past episodes can you please label them that way? Otherwise, you’re insinuating it’s a new episode when it’s not.

I love this podcast! I’ve been wanting a crime show where the people don’t die. This podcast is so inspirational! I’m amazed at how courageous, and heroic these survivors are. I also love hearing how they heal through their ordeals and go on to do great things to help other survivors.

I loved this show, cried hearing stories of their pain and triumph. Get some new content please. There are so many stories out there, I feel like at this point it’s a money grab from ads to repeat the same stories over and over and over.

I loved this podcast but they constantly repeat episodes. I’ve heard the same episodes like 4 times

This was a great podcast but it’s just the same episodes playing over and over.

I love this show and podcast and will start again once it has something new, but it’s been a long time and they are basically trying to trick us by releasing old episodes every week as if they are new. It’s frustrating to get notified every week that there is a new one out, just to time and time again realize it’s a repeated episode I’ve already heard. Why release previous episodes on a podcast when people can literally just click that same episode at any point? There are plenty of survival stories out there, no need to replay the same few over and over. I wish they would just not release an episode if they didn’t have something new. This show would have an easy 5 stars if they weren’t being so frustrating with their content.

Love the stories of survival and strength. Hoping there will be more episodes soon! I have binge listened to all of them in the past week. Update- been awhile now and no new episodes. Very disappointing.

I know these people have survived horrific things, but I feel like the Christian church is behind this, beckoning us all. We get it, you live a faith based life. Tell me something that’s actually interesting about you.

Unsure why this channel keeps cycling through their episodes. I wrote a rave review previously, but I had to edit it down to one star.

I don’t even listen anymore bc I just assume I’ve heard the episode

Agree with another reviewer tired of reruns

Started off soooo good, but comes out with a new season and just replays the first season. What’s the point of this? Booo
