  • Wondery Presents: How to Survive Against the Odds
    Jun 2 2025

    Inspired by Wondery’s hit podcast Against the Odds—learn how to survive whatever nature can throw at you through gut-twisting true stories of survival on the brink

    How to Survive Against the Odds places you at the center of fifteen real life-or-death scenarios. Each story explores the physiological responses of the human body under unbearable conditions, how to counteract them, and strategies for survival from doctors and psychologists. Through these tales, we see the grit, willpower, and know-how needed to navigate out of a host of merciless situations.

    This invaluable survival guide includes tips on how to endure being:

    • ADRIFT AT SEA: Learn how to cure turtle meat, procure potable water, and survive on a life raft.
    • MAULED BY A BEAR: Black bears? Fight back. Grizzly bears? Play dead. Polar bears? Start praying. You’ll learn how to triage wounds using the MARCH method and how to spot the difference between a bear’s bluff charge and an actual attack.
    • BURIED BY AN EARTHQUAKE: Find out how to survive the initial crush, maintain your sanity if trapped under the rubble, and “think away your hunger.”
    • And so much more!


    This might just be the most important book you’ll ever read. Armed with the information in How to Survive Against the Odds and when faced with similar threats, you may also find that you have what it takes to defy death and live to tell your story.

  • Ep. 86 | Out of This World/A Good Scrub Down
    May 27 2025

    “Out of This World”: In 2003, a treasure hunter in Chile makes a shocking discovery: a tiny, 6-inch skeleton of what appears to be a human. But parts of its anatomy just don’t make sense. It’s too well-formed to be a fetal skeleton, and its skull is strangely elongated – making some people wonder, is this a medical mystery… or an extraterrestrial one?

    “A Good Scrub Down”:

    After thoroughly cleaning his apartment, a young man is ready to enjoy his weekend. A few hours later, his eye starts to itch unbearably. Is it an allergy? An irritant? A bacteria? Or something even more sinister?

John ballen is a class by himself. He offers this amazingly well spoken clarity in his voice that immediately calms and similarly creates a sense of excitement to listen. So kings works for both falling asleep and paying attention to content. Love him so much in all his areas of topic. He’s great just listen

The topics are extraordinary

this podcast is one of those "Ooh! whats next?!" kind of stories. it's really cool to learn about the medical advancements we have made through history. even things that we see as common, or highly treatable, may have at one point Been an Insanely baffling type of case, A "Medical mystery" if you will. these stories are amazing and well crafted. Thank you John!

Interesting medical History.
