Pretty epic founding story.
An island nation founded on mutiny, seems like an interesting story.
Pretty cool trailer here. Probably a cool podcast too!
10/10 island friend. Keep it up.
Too many ads
I was already a Wendover/HAI fan and this podcast has hooked just like the the YouTube channels. I have been so intrigued by Svalbard for a while and now, after season 2, I want to see it even more than before. I can't wait to listen to season 3. Thanks for providing great content Sam!
great podcast
hi you should all listen to this podcast it's absolutely awesome and so cool and he's very very good at researching
Keep it up!
PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE. Keep doing this. I love it. It's so interesting and in a way, relaxing.
I love this podcast, I learned so much from it
I when it said airstrip I thought they said air strike
Interesting and well prepared show - enjoyed it a lot...
This is the Geography podcast I have been waiting for
Really good. Got super interesting toward the last few episodes. Maybe you should have put a teaser about stuff to come in the pilot. I think mentions of pedophilia would cut through expectations lol
Cannot wait for the next season!
One of the best series in awhile.
that last chaptwr about justice... wow, amazing storytelling and def the best chapter so far. so intrigued by their way of life and not even sure what to think bout. seems a little whitewashed but still... will read more
Why do you keep saying the plural form of women when referring to a single woman.
Been waiting all week for the next episode! great work sam.
