Hugh Glass: The Man Who Refused To Die

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2456089/fan_mail/new] Mauled by a grizzly bear. Abandoned by his own men. Left with nothing in the wilderness. Hugh Glass survived one of the most extreme ordeals in American frontier history — but surviving didn’t mean peace. In this episode, we explore how Glass kept going when everything failed, what really kept him alive, and why his story still matters today. Sources hugh glass real story - Reddit Search!

episode Hartford Circus Fire artwork

Hartford Circus Fire

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2456089/fan_mail/new] On July 6, 1944, what was meant to be a joyful afternoon at the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus turned into one of the deadliest fires in American history. In this episode of Crash Lessons, we tell the story of the Hartford Circus Fire — how a perfect storm of unsafe practices, wartime shortages, and human error led to tragedy, and how the disaster permanently changed public safety standards in the United States.

Deer Island Sewage Treatment Plant

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2456089/fan_mail/new] Deep beneath the waters of Deer Island, one of the largest wastewater treatment plants in the United States was under construction—an ambitious project meant to clean up Boston Harbor and protect the environment. But behind the engineering feat lies a much darker story. In this episode, we explore the construction of the Deer Island Sewage Treatment Plant and the dangerous conditions workers faced while building massive underwater tunnels. We focus on the tragic deaths of two divers who lost their lives deep below the surface, operating in a pressurized, high-risk environment where one mistake could be fatal.

The Shatayeva Group

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2456089/fan_mail/new] Eight climbers. One Mountain. A storm no one could escape.  In this episode we are talking about the Shatayeva Group.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
