Worst Case Scenario is the podcast where comedians and good friends Abi Clarke and Julia Stenton tell the survival stories of those who found themselves in the worst case scenario and lived to tell the tale. It’s your grisly fix but with a happy ending. They’re underqualified, underprepared and would face certain doom in any emergency situation, but together they’re building their own Worst Case Scenario survival kit. This podcast is for recovering true crime addicts who want to hear extraordinary true stories of life-changing events from the perspective of the heroes instead of the villains. Hosted on Acast.
