Popular Reviews of Get Out Alive

Very informed podcast. Ashley and Nick are amazing hosts I’m hooked on this podcast!!

I only found this podcast two weeks ago and have not stopped listening, I’m on episode 48 so far! It’s incredible. I got a pod chaser account just to leave this review as Ashley just said she reads them. Also I LOVE Nick, the episodes where he wasn’t there I skipped them, I couldn’t listen without it being Ashley and Nick together because the back and forth and the chemistry between them is everything. Genuinely don’t want to get up to date because then I’ll have to wait for releases rather than listening back to back like I have been!

This podcast is a release-day listen for me, I love it that much! It's often hilarious, can be very serious, but is also a very educational look at human-animal encounters and how we, as humans, can do our best to co-exist with our animal friends.Ashley and Nick are amazing hosts and have such a fun chemistry, and when they have guests on the show, the interviews are always done with such respect and appreciation for the guests that it's just a delight to listen to. On top of that, the guests themselves are often just incredibly intelligent, humble, and fun people to listen to and learn from! Jaida Elcock, Frank "Alligator" Robb, and Oliver Starr in particular had such ridiculously fun and interesting episodes, I highly recommend checking those out in particular.All in all, it's a wonderful podcast and it's criminal that there's only one other review as of this writing.

I’m not a huge podcast person. I have maybe 3 that I’ll listen to here and there. But I LOVE this podcast so much I became a Patreon which I swore I would never do for any podcast. Ashley gives informative information in a way to keep your attention and Nicks co hosting is hilarious! I absolutely love him. He’s the best! I don’t think would listen without either of them. Do yourself a favor follow them and start listening !

I have never listened to podcasts before, but I am glad I found this one. It is full of knowledge about animals, and sometimes the hosts' lives, that keeps the content fresh and entertaining. WIth Ashley's amazing research and personal knowledge, and Nick's interesting color commentary, the stories and expert interviews keep me engaged and looking forward to new episodes that cover everything from domesticated dogs to crazy wild animals. I applaud their back-and-forth banter as it brings laughs to sometimes very intense and serious real-life stories. They teach you how to protect yourself while maximizing your experiences outdoors without preaching the same things over and over. 6/5 Stars

While I just discovered this podcast a week or two ago, I am already on episode 47. I'm a truck driver, so I spend a lot of time listening. I was on the lookout for a new podcast on animal attacks and how to prevent them after finishing up with Tooth & Claw (another great podcast). I went through every other animal podcast I could find on Spotify, none of them were very good, most had hosts who don't know much about the animals themselves and give inaccurate information. Get Out Alive was the last one I looked at because I had assumed from the title that it was strictly stories of those who survived attacks (I prefer the nail-biting spooky stories), but I couldn't have been more wrong. Ashley and Nick talk about both attacks in which the victim survived and those in which the victim did not. They talk about what the person may have done differently to avoid such a negative encounter, as well as how to react when such negative encounters happen. This is very much on-par with the quality of podcasts that I enjoy, and on-par with Tooth & Claw. The thing that actually raises this podcast above all others, in my opinion, is that the episodes are not made excessively long by using filler. What I mean by this is, a lot of podcasts fill up a significant amount of time with banter or discussions that have nothing to do with the story. Some take it so far as being 10 minutes of story, and 45 minutes of banter. While Ashley and Nick do talk and joke, and while they do sometimes get off topic, I think that they do it just the perfect amount. The episodes should be almost all about the animals and the encounters, with a bit of banter in between to break up the potential monotony of listening to a ton of facts. Ashley and Nick perfectly balance each other out. Ashley is mostly the "just the facts" host, whereas Nick is the lovable goofball that I think is important to have, and who represents the larger segment of the population who don't have an in-depth knowledge of these animals and what one should do during an encounter. I know he has frequently asked questions that I have found myself asking. There have been a few episodes that I have listened to in which Nick wasn't involved, and (sorry Ashley) it was not nearly as great. Chock-full of useful information, yes, but lacking the balance that makes this podcast so great. Nick is the ying to Ashley's yang, and I wouldn't have it any other way! Thanks Nick and Ashley for helping to keep me entertained during my long hours on the road, and I will continue to support you guys for as long as you keep up the podcast! To Nick as well, thank you for your service to this country. I am unaware of what branch of the military you served, and I am sure that having somebody thank you for your service is as awkward for you to hear as it is for me, but accept it for what it is. Appreciation for those who served. You already had my respect, but finding out you served was just icing on the cake. Keep up the good work guys!Much love!John LaClair

I love this podcast so much! I listen to Just the Zoo of Us, and The great horned owl episode brought me to listen to Get Out Alive - thank god it did! Ashley is an amazing storyteller and Nick is hilarious. It’s always fun to listen to them both. I always listen to episodes right when they come out and I re-listen to old episodes often. My favorites are 3, 14, and 15. I love what you guys are doing, thank you for your hard work!

Absolutely love the energy between the hosts. The enthusiasm they have gets me pumped to learn and honestly laugh pretty hard. Still so many serious moments in the attacks they recap, but they do well to give great advice and reasons for why am attack may have happened. Been a patron of their since episode…2? 3? Heck. It’s worth it. Great listen, in my top 3 of all time.

This is one of my favorite podcast because of how informative it is. They also make it very entertaining and I love looking for the new episodes. Have been listening since the start can’t wait to see more
