Hey, Super Podcast fans! It's Yardley! I just wanted to pop in with a quick announcement

about Small Town Day season 12. It drops on April 21st. April 21st, Mark your calendars!

We will see you there!

What if you were stranded on a mountain top or survived a plane crash or attacked by a bear

in the dead of winter? These might sound like action movie plots, but for an unlucky few,

these stories were all too real. Against the odds is a podcast from Wondry that tells

mind-blowing, edgy or seat survival stories filled with adventure and bravery, perseverance

and tragedy. These vivid stories will transport you into the shoes of the heroes who survive

to tell the tale. Like the Alaska Bear attack, a backcountry ski trip with three friends that

turned into a living nightmare when they unknowingly skied over a den and awoke a mother bear

and her cub from hibernation. Bleeding and hypothermia were imminent, but his friends had

to try their best to keep him alive while waiting for rescue and hoping the bear wouldn't

come back for them. Each episode will remind you about the unshakeable human drive to survive

and the inspiring bravery of the heroes who helped. You're about to hear a preview of

against the odds and while you're listening, hey, go ahead and follow against the odds wherever

you get your podcasts and you can listen ad-free on the Amazon Music or Wondry app. Do it!
