Against the Odds
by Bao Han
Against the Odds is a documentary-style survival podcast about ordinary people facing extraordinary moments, where fear, instinct, endurance, and hope collide. Each episode tells a gripping true-to-life survival story built around one central question: what happens when everything goes wrong, and a person has only seconds, minutes, or days to decide who they will become? From freezing wilderness and violent storms to lost expeditions, disaster zones, impossible escapes, and quiet battles far from the spotlight, this series explores the human will to keep going when the world seems determined to break it.

Through cinematic narration, carefully shaped storytelling, and reflective endings, Against the Odds looks beyond the headline and into the mind of the survi

The Name the Ocean Wouldn’t Let Go
“A Specimen, a Name, and the Ocean That Wouldn’t Let Go” explores how a single museum record can become the beginning of a deep-sea mystery. Through the specimen label, collection record, and taxonomic name of Psilaster charcoti, this episode looks beyond simple classification and into the afterlife of an Antarctic expedition. What survives in an archive is not only data, but fragments of discovery, uncertainty, ambition, and silence. This episode asks what a record can reveal about a creature, and what it can never fully explain. It is a story about science, memory, the deep ocean, and the strange power of a name preserved in a museum drawer.
