Humanizing and personal portraits of disasters

I recently found this podcast by accident through comments on a post about a local disaster’s anniversary. From Pokémon Go accidents to escalators to a surprisingly horrific Christmas party, I get a weekly distraction from our current disaster filled world. Brianne and Melanie paint deeply humanizing and personal portraits of the people impacted from the disaster in addition to discussing systemic and technical issues that contributed to the disaster. There’s always a dose of humor in each episode, though never at the expense of the victims, which is achieved through the host’s rapport with each other.
