The Alarmist, How I Survived, and It Burns

<p class="">We don't really have a theme but the names of our recommendations do sound very disaster-y this week. Zane recommends The Alarmist, a podcast for everyone who loves to catastrophise. Liz shares her favourite stories of survival with How I Survived (and we all know how much Liz loves a good survival story). And then Nick jumps over to Audible for the exclusive podcast It Burns, which isn't about his personal hygiene, but rather about the mad world of competitive chilli growing. Then it's reviews time from last week.</p><p class=""></p><p class=""><strong>Liz Recommends - How I Survived</strong></p><p class=""><a href="https://www.thatslife.com.au/thats-life-new-podcast-how-i-survived-survival-stories" target="_blank">https://www.thatslife.com.au/thats-life-new-podcast-how-i-survived-survival-stories</a></p><p class="">Each fortnight, How I Survived brings you the shocking true story of a person who’s survived against the odds, told in their own words. Hosted by <em>that's life! </em>writer Beth Young, these stories are terrifying, inspiring and ultimately prove the power of the human will to live.</p><p class="">Liz finds it hard to listen to the self-inflicted accidents (sliced face off with a chainsaw? NO THANK YOU.) But she loves the ones where people have weird encounters, or triumph over evil motherf***ers.</p><p class=""><strong>For both:</strong> Bourke Street Massacre: My Brother The Killer</p><p class="">I Was Swallowed by A Hippo</p><p class="">Kelly Went For A Run - attacked while running</p><p class=""><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/how-i-survived/id1380588512" target="_blank">https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/how-i-survived/id1380588512</a></p><p class=""></p><p class=""><strong>Nick Recommends - It Burns</strong></p><p class=""><em>It Burns</em> is the story of a 10-year scandal-plagued international competition that will take listeners from the Australian Coast to South Carolina (via an Indian Research Facility).</p><p class="">It’s a war filled with larger than life
