Some great, highly produced stories but the ad ratio is a killer. It's probably only 30-40% ads but it really feels like 80% sometimes 😫
Apr 29, 2024
way too many ads!!
Jan 20, 2024
I'm happy for ads to be at the start and the end of the episodes but having them littered all throughout the episode is really annoying and breaks the story.
Tha ads being Placed in the middle of the episode ruins all the work put in to the episode. why ruin it like that?
no one's listening to them. you're just degrading your podcast

Description
Humans are resilient. In our toughest moments, we will fight, we will struggle, and we will triumph...often against the odds.
In this immersive series from Wondery, host-adventurers Mike Corey and Cassie De Pecol will share thrilling stories of survival. From the daring rescue of a soccer team trapped in an underwater cave in Thailand, to a woman taken hostage by Somali pirates, these stories made headlines around the world. AGAINST THE ODDS will make you feel as though you’re living these experiences with our heroes as they push themselves to their limits.
