    Grrreeeaaattt!
    Been a Luna Loon & Kent Krazy from day one. No one can tell an engrossing story like Jack. No one can insult like Kent! I usually listen late at nite, these stories are a nice break from being grossed out while trying to fall asleep. First story broke my heart,tho, I could picture myself lost & all the emotions she must have felt. Listening to #2 with a cup of #1šŸ˜šŸ˜Aaron is a perfect addition to the group. Another winner, guys.

    Always good!
    Jack and Aaron are great together. Some of the stories of being stranded in underwater caves or in mines are the stuff of nightmares! Love the show.

    How could this go wrong?
    Two of the best voices and podcasters. I love them both and the two together are like Sonny and Cher, chocolate and peanut butter and Guns and roses. Thanks for the new mix and keep it coming! *Why didnā€™t I say peanut butter and jelly?šŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø 9.4.24 update

    Letā€™s Get Lost
    My number one favorite podcast!! Thoughtful and curious. Just love it!
  • lizingrafton
    Keep it up!!
    They Do a great job of describing the situation. Jack Luna lightly roasting the ppl is my favorite. Especially when they survive - I say roasting them for ending up in the situation is allowed :)
  • BEhnert
    Good show!
    Iā€™ve binged most of the episodes just this week. Aaron is always good Iā€™ve grown to like Jack a lot! Keep it up, guys!
  • Lindsay Fantastico
    Excellent podcast and excellent hosts
    I love Aaron from Gen Why and Jack Luna is a great and perfect cohost. Your guys banter with telling stories is amazing and you cover the most interesting cases. You better be careful Aaron, Iā€™m starting to like this podcast better than gen why. Keep it up boys. And I would not be super annoyed if you put out more episodesā€¦.. or a Patreon. Sign me up if you do!
  • Thelidd
    Love the stories
    This is a great distraction from crime and my comedy addiction. Your voices are pleasant to listen to while at work. You help me not lose my mind with my job, CA Insurance is heavy these days so listening to you guys help me.
  • Kim, Boulder
    Wonderful
    Wonderful and look forward to each episode!!!
  • Brinalisonmac
    Love how show is developing!
    Hey guys- I agree with some feedback I think someone else gave you before that itā€™s great to see some of your personality come out a little bit more in your banter along with the great stories. Didnā€™t think there were so many ways to get ā€œmaroonedā€- great stories, great hosts, and love seeing how you grow together!

    Future Topic
    Love the show and understand itā€™s a little niche. Are you familiar with the story of the ā€œLady Be Goodā€, a USA WWII Bomber that went down in the Libyan Desert. There were some to survive the crashā€¦
  • CoolBTL
    Interesting stories
    These are stories you donā€™t hear on other podcasts. I enjoy the way they relate the tales.
  • Cool man3335555

    I really love the information and story telling of these two. Helps me get through long shifts, thatā€™s for sure.

  • Tennille0928
    Excellent listening!
    This is first review Iā€™ve bothered to write in a long time, even though Iā€™ve held this opinion since the beginning of the podcast. When I heard on Jackā€™s Patreon that him and Aaron Habel were getting together to do this podcast I just knew it was going to be a gem! And it is! Very well researched and such interesting stories. I get excited for every new episode. If youā€™re looking for a sign to press play, just do it!
  • ZsaZsaLiskey
    Edge of your seat thrilling
    Situations are so unique and the story telling is fantastic, Jack & Aaron make you feel like you are in the jungle, stranded at sea or the desert along side the people in the story. Love these guys together, keep up the incredible work!
  • FearMyMinivan
    Unique and interesting!
    I will listen to anything Jack Luna does, but this is my favorite.
  • Awesome1111222
    Great listening every 2 weeks!
    I look forward to listening every 2 weeks! This week I started listening and couldnā€™t believe you were talking about my childhood and adult life right by Burt Lake! Iā€™ve never been one for ice fishing, you can imagine why!
  • NikkiSue25
    Great podcast!
    Love the storytelling and writing of this show. I look forward to each new episode. These two hosts are top tier

  • Simmer_down_now
    Follow this show
    I love both of the hosts, and have followed both individually for sometime. I was really excited when they came out with this collaboration and I always look forward to seeing new episodes. Nice episode length commute, pleasant back-and-forth between the hosts, and respectful of the topics they are discussing. Good job guys!
  • greeneyed28
    Iā€™m so happy I found this!
    This a topic that fascinates me! Iā€™m so glad Aaron and Jack have provided us with this infinitely fascinating podcast

    Read the show notes
    I love this show. Itā€™s super interesting. Thanks guys for a great listen. Also, Iā€™m almost 50 and Iā€™m just at the age where I have to say things sometimes. Aaron and Jack, idk who gets on your cases for saying things like ā€œno I would never climb Everest or never do thisā€, just ignore those people. Thatā€™s absurd to expect you to be a human with no opinions and truths. I mean itā€™s a right as a person to be able to say..yeah I know my limitations and I couldnā€™t do that. I know for me itā€™s a hard pass. I couldnā€™t do it. Iā€™m just baffled that people openly judge yā€™all for speaking truths about yourselves. Itā€™s so ridiculous lol. Anywho, Carry on fellas! Youā€™re the best and I adore you ā¤ļøā¤ļø

    Great Podcast!
    I wasnā€™t sure if Iā€™d like this at first but gave it a go since Jack Luna was a part of it. I absolutely love it! They give you just enough information and detail to make you connect with the people and situations in each episode but not so much that you tune out or feel like youā€™re lost in a maze of contextual information. Neither Jack or Aaron take themselves too seriously which is also refreshing. Thank you to Jack and Aaron for putting out something worth listening to.
  • jv---
    Excellent
    Love this show. I listened to Generation Why and appreciate this shows thoughtful approach. Most of these are kind of simple stories but fresh as they arenā€™t specifically true crime. Thanks guys!
  • Cathaus
    Awesome
    Iā€™m very bad because I never review my favorite podcasts I wasnā€™t even sure I knew how to. But I felt like I had to leave a review about the I really love to Delivery. I like the stories and I really hope that it continues for a long time one suggestion I would have for them is to look in some of the mountaineering disasters that happen. When people get stuck on mountain tops because some of those survival stories are so insane. Also I think they like the story to have a happy ending, but it wouldnā€™t be a possibility to cover some people who we know were marooned, but didnā€™t make it. Thanks you two!!
  • Beanins
    I read the show notes šŸ˜‰
    In a turn away from the true crime these gentlemen are known for, they've created a show that's unique in its content and highlights both their talents as storytellers.
  • JUtah31
    Well done. Great production
    Straightforward. Good production. Good stories. Quality podcast.
  • countryash88
    My new favorite!
    I need more! Almost done listening to all of the episodes that are already out
  • Hieran
    Some unique stories + enjoyable hosts
    I admit it took me a couple of eps to really warm up to ā€œMarooned,ā€ because of the hostsā€™ very low-key narration. But Iā€™ve really come to enjoy that laid-back approach. The stories feel unscripted, as if the guys are just telling their friends a tale at a backyard barbecue. They have also covered several stories I havenā€™t heard on the other true-crime/history pods I usually listen toā€”perhaps because many of the stories on ā€œMaroonedā€ are not actually crime-based. The people involved often become lost through accidents, bad weather, their own mistakes, etc. The episode I just listened to, about two Australian gold miners trapped by an earthquake/cave-in, was really well-done, and I had never heard of the incident before. Iā€™ve become a regular listener and have started going through the back catalog of episodes to hear more stories of the catastrophically lost. I recommend ā€œMaroonedā€ to anyone intrigued like I was by the name and the illustration. Itā€™s worth your time and worth a listen!

    Awesomeness!
    Truly an interesting and well researched podcast. Aaron & Jack have a wonderful rapport which makes their episodes engaging and informative. Iā€™ve binged listened for hours! Enjoy!
  • bunnyrabbits750
    Amazing show!!
    This show is awesome and thank you for making it friendly to all ages!!!!!!!
  • JenniferPerie
    They Had Me at ā€˜Maroonedā€™
    I look forward to each episode & have been an avid listener since day one! Fascinating true stories, thoroughly researched & nicely told, with empathy, & some surprisingly pithy observations. Iā€™m never bored! Aaron & Jack hold my interest; & each of these adventure stories, some with a rescue borne of amazing resilience & some which are true tales of lost hopes, fading horizons in the mists of timeā€¦ they remind me of books I used to read, way back when it seemed I had an endless amount of time for my own fearlessness. Now I prefer to simply imagine ā€¦while remaining safely here. Of course a plane could always crash down upon my house, or a missile - one never knows, does one? So the fact that I get to hear so many different stories, & can use my imagination, thanks to Aaron & Jack, is what makes this podcast so special. I absolutely love the intriguing scientific knowledge they bring - to spaceflight especially- the details are riveting; they truly are riveting in every episode! No detail is too minuscule for me. If they want to do longer episodes, & more episodes, Iā€™m up for that as well! Also, the artwork for the ā€˜album coverā€™ of Marooned is superb. I very much appreciate that they both put in so much effort, and I get the sense that itā€™s genuine. ā€¦ Iā€™m glad they didnā€™t name it ā€œHunker Downā€ lol. I have a quirky sense of humour - so please donā€™t let me alienate anyone from listening to this truly immersive, unique podcast, which I highly recommend.

    Fun break from true crime
    Great stories! Who woulda thought these two guys would be so good together. Enjoying their lighter sides ( even though these stories arenā€™t light). They are also respectful to people who get themselves into ā€œsituations.ā€
  • uktopgear
    I knew it would be good,
