Can I give this one eight stars?

Been away for a while. It was nice to come back and find new episodes of Snap Judgment (and Radiolab) had been posted in my absence! This one was a real grabber! I tuned in for the adventurous aspects promised in the blurbs about "Buried Alive" and "Lost at Sea", and boy, they didn't disappoint! But I also found "The Orange" equally gripping. Glynn's personal tales were enjoyable as always, of course. Keep it up! I'm a big fan!
