0:00.0	Hey, Prime members, you can listen to Against the Odds at Free on Amazon Music. Download the app today.
0:15.0	From Wondery, I'm Cassie Depegel, and this is Against the Odds.
0:31.0	Over the last two episodes, we've told the story of Amelia Earhart and the flights that propelled her to international fame.
0:40.0	Earhart's 1932 solo flight from Newfoundland to Northern Ireland made her the first woman to fly non-stop across the Atlantic.
0:49.0	But that's not where her story ends. Earhart continued to set flying records, and then set her sights on flying around the world.
0:58.0	Today, we'll be joined by author Chris Williamson to talk about Earhart's final flight.
1:04.0	His podcast, Chasing Earhart, explores the mystery of her disappearance and her legacy.
1:10.0	But before we welcome Chris, we have something special planned. Today is officially the 100th episode of Against the Odds, and to mark the occasion, I want to bring on my fellow Against the Odds host, Mike Corey, for a little chat. Hey, Mike.
1:24.0	Hey, and here we are, I think for the second time together on the same podcast.
1:28.0	Right, right. It's been a little too long.
1:31.0	Yeah, and we've done a hundred episodes if you can imagine.
1:34.0	Crazy, crazy. And in true Against the Odds fashion, you're always on the go and on some crazy adventure. So where are you joining us from today, Mike?
1:43.0	Right now, I'm in Playa del Carmen, about an hour south of Cancun, and out my window, there's an airport.
1:48.0	So you might hear airplane noises because I'm actually trying to do my skydiving lessons.
1:53.0	Wow. Well, it's so hard to believe that this is the 100th episode of Against the Odds.
1:59.0	I'm curious, what do you love most about the stories we get to tell on this show?
2:03.0	I think for myself, I may be for you too. I've heard a lot about some of these stories, maybe just a whisper in the wind or on a different podcast or on the news.
2:11.0	But you never really get to hear all the details until it comes across our table.
2:16.0	And then we dive in in two, three, four episodes and then usually interview someone who was there or was very closely involved with it.
2:22.0	And you hear all of these little nuances that are even more incredible, right?
2:27.0	I think maybe the interesting thing about the podcast is that we all have our own survival stories.
2:32.0	Some are greater than others, but they're all very intense in our lives.
