Against the Odds: Alaska Bear Attack What if you were stranded on a mountaintop? 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 Wondery that tells mind-blowing, edge-of-your-seat survival stories filled with adventure and bravery, perseverance and tragedy. These vivid stories will transport you into the shoes of the heroes who survived 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. After one of them was attacked, 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.
