I’m so glad I could find a disaster podcast without the explicit rating so I can listen to it! I love it! Keep up the good work!

No nonsense, no dramatic music. Just the facts. Which is all a show like this needs. Excellent.

I really agree with mishiburg

I listen to dozens of podcasts, and great disasters is in my top 3, thanks to its solid research, interesting subject matter, and excellent delivery. There’s something about KF’s voice that makes hearing about the worst disasters in history an almost soothing experience. This is my favorite “hidden gem” pod.

Professionally written, spoken and researched. The best disaster pod cast available John harrison

Well-researched, thoughtfully presented recounting and analysis of tragedies — what happened, what went wrong, what then changed to hopefully prevent repeats — with a back catalogue you can dive into. I find the single host with a script format a refreshing break from the more jocular, conversational, digression-y style of many other podcasts. I also very much appreciate that the host usually mentions what reference materials she’s drawing from.

Simple, interesting and presented well.

Interesting topics and wonderful production values. Respectful and serious presentation as well.

Please, Please, Please!

A hard subject handled very well. I hope she comes back.

I just discovered Great Disasters podcasts a couple days ago but I’ve been enjoying them immensely. Kari does a wonderful job. I can’t believe she’s a one woman show! But she pulls it off and brings you stories that will grab your attention and make you want to play the next. Well done Kari!

Kari has an awesome, soothing voice and presents each subject matter with passion and respect for the victims. She is not preachy and does not try to shove a political / world view down your “ear hole”. She gives great information and details in each podcast! Thanks Kari!!

One of my favorite podcasts. Thank you for producing these.

Not sensational at all, Kari shows genuine respect for the dead, which is a big plus for me. Interesting, her descriptions perfectly strike the sweet spot of being technical enough for a layman to follow along without treating the listeners as idiots. The only real drawback is poor audio quality especially in early episodes, which can make listening difficult if using poor quality earphones or with a lot of background noise. Really hope this podcast is revived in the near future, ideally with a better microphone.

Awesome show. So well done. I hope she comes back!!

I just found this this weekend and I am devouring episodes.

this is a hidden gem! i was hooked immediately… this is a genre that’s under-explored on here and the narrator is perfect. just as soothing for everyday as it is for falling asleep. i have adhd and i can relisten to some of these episodes daily lol. not gory exactly but this isn’t some cornball podcast without details. please make more! <3 A+

I am delighted that I found this podcast. The presenter is great. The research is outstanding and balanced. You will not be sorry when you download this podcast. Share with everyone you know.

Love your podcasts. They are very informative. My favorite is the one on the station nightclub fire and the 6 part series you did on 9/11. Keep up the good work.

Your episodes are so awesome I don’t even think I could stay happy if you didn’t make your episodes

This is a fabulous podcast. Very well researched, written and presented. This is by far the best podcast in this genre. 👍👍👍

Great Podcast! A well researched and delivered podcast with respect shown to sensitive topics. I’ve enjoyed every episode so far.

This podcast is one of the best researched and well presented podcasts I’ve ever listened to. Just her 9/11 5 part series deserves an award. It was so thorough and had so many details I’d never heard before in the 20 years since the attacks. Kari is a wonderful host and her presentation is superb. I only wish she did more but obviously being a one woman show is a lot of work. Kudos to you Kari!!

I’ve enjoyed this podcast for quite a while now. Kari Faye does an excellent job on every aspect of production and presentation. Her multi-part series on 9/11 was simply exquisite.

This podcast needs to be heard! I’ve been meaning to review it for some time, but now I must. I just listened to the series on 9/11… No where else have I heard the detail that Kari offers. She doesn’t shy away from truth; in ANY of her stories.

Incredibly well researched. Even if you know the story that’s being told, Kari will doubtlessly share details you’ve never heard before. Recommend.

Kari Fay is an amazing host. I enjoy every episode and wait on the edge of my seat for more! Days that I see there’s a new episode are happy days indeed, thank you for your excellent work on this podcast. I love it!!!

I hope this host does more stories. She broadcasts well, knows how to research a subject and definitely knows how best to present it. Very well done.

I’m so glad I came across this interesting podcast! I have not heard of most of these incidents. I only wish there were more episodes.

Best disaster podcast out there

Kari is a FANTASTIC story teller and every episode is amazingly well-researched. This is a must listen!

I love this podcast. I get so excited when I see a new one in my feed. I love hearing in depth what actually happened from many perspectives and the narrator really paints a picture for the listener. Can’t recommend this enough.

I just got through all 48 episodes. Ms. Fay strikes the right balance between telling what happened, especially from the point of view of those who were there, and explaining why it happened. She explains things in a way that is usually very understandable (I still don’t quite understand train signals 🙂). For example, if you’ve ever spilled water carrying a full bowl, you can picture exactly how a ferry boat ended up on its side. And balancing the sadness of the losses are often the tales of incredibly brave and selfless acts, such as the man who turns himself into a human bridge to safety, or the nurse who uses her lipstick to make sure train accident victims don’t get too much morphine. Finally I have learned quite a bit of history from these podcasts, including much more about the Tulsa massacre than I knew before (Ms. Fay is at the top of her game in that episode, it may be her best which is saying something). I can’t recommend this enough.

Ten outta ten would recommend. Kari works really hard and delivers such quality content. Chefs kiss

Just started listening in the past week and I'm hooked! She gives so much detail to each disaster, but isn't boring in her story telling. She's got a nice soothing voice and is very articulate. You can tell she really does her research, reading all the newspaper articles published at the time. And she always provides the best survivor's testimony. Thank you Kari for this wonderful podcast!

Keri Fay’s Great Disasters is a great podcast series because she uses each episode as case studies not only about what can go wrong, but also how individuals and society often contribute to makes things worse. A positive I take from this podcast is the life and death importance of good governance in mitigating and sometimes even preventing disaster. Keri’s podcast should be required reading for anyone involved in human society especially those in leadership positions. Can’t wait for more and I will be contributing a bit financially to keep this going.

Kari is great subject matter is well researched and delivered with class and her voice is sweet and mellow a fantastic podcast i look for episodes ahead to be excellent a pleasure to listen to !!!!!

Kari does such thourough research that I often learn new facts about the disasters even after listening to several different telling of the story before listening to this podcast. The show is informative while being respectful to the victims of the event. I love this podcast so much and wish it could come out more often but I so look forward to when a new episode does come out

I love listening to Kari. Her voice is calming and easy to listen to. Absolutely, my favorite podcast! I’d like to hear her cover some more of the tornado disasters from the US. Please, keep up the good work! Noah, Kansas City

I love this podcast! I strongly recommend this! WARNING!! at times quite sad.

Got my blood boiling!!! White people say “that was so long ago”. According to white people, since black people can NOW vote, the atrocities committed by white racist, racist weaklings & racist sympathizers literally think things should be considered square. HA! Pay with YOUR blood.

I love how straight forward this podcast is and doesn’t contain a lot of fluff. They are quick listens packed with details so you can get through a few in a day. I’m addicted. Great job!

Hope you come back to update this podcast. Clear and concise delivery on the topics at hand! Maybe just normalize the audio so it’s a bit louder! Hard to hear when I’m working. Thanks!

Just found this pod, amazing research and story delivery. Thank you!!

Only needs to be a bit louder. Otherwise outstanding

Interesting stories, great narrator, needs to be louder audio too quite.

I listen to this podcast while at work here in the US. The narrator is well informed, and well adapt at drawing you into each story, and making you feel the empathy for the people who suffer such tragic fates, as well as heroism that accompanies these tales as well. Well worth subscribing!

This podcast has been a wonderful find. I appreciate the thorough research that has gone into each episode, and the careful and compassionate delivery. Every episode has been compelling, and I look forward to future episodes.

It is a pretty good show until you said that we should “support black lives matter”. I have unsubscribed. Do you not know what black lives matter stands for. Take a look around at the cities across America Antifa and blm are terrible organizations. Supporting racial equality is one thing and is great but not those organizations. Try watching something else besides your liberal media and you will see what they are. Why on earth did you get political?

This podcast is ear candy for history lovers. Straightforward facts, well presented, and eminently interesting.
