I listen to this. Some of you may know that in addition to short history of I also

host another podcast on the Noiser Network. It's called Real Survival Stories and

each week on Real Survival Stories we meet ordinary people who are thrown into extraordinary situations,

people who are suddenly forced to fight for their lives.

I love doing the show because it transports us right into the heart of incredible stories in amazing locations

whether high up in the mountains or far out at sea in the desert underground or even in one episode deep inside an iceberg.

And the people we get to interview on the show are genuinely astonishing.

I'm blown away every week by the power of the human spirit

and by how they manage to get out of these situations.

So today we wanted to bring you a Taster episode to see if we can tempt you to add real survival

stories to your weekly roster.

If you enjoy this Taster, follow Real Survival Stories

wherever you get your shows for new episodes each Thursday.

lifting approximately 65 feet. It spreads at a speed of two kilometers a second, ripping a fault in the seabed that extends for a thousand miles.

It's all over, within 13 minutes,

a short, sharp flash of seismic activity.
