Meet the people who survived the impossible!

If I Survive is a Podster original series that brings some of the most epic and unbelievable true stories of survival to young listeners. Packed with adventure, suspense and extraordinary characters, the series explores those moments when courage, determination and sheer luck make the difference between life and death.

In the series, you get to meet Junko Tabei, the pioneering mountaineer who survived a terrifying avalanche while climbing Mount Everest as well as Liv and Thor Heyerdahl, a young Norwegian couple whose search for a simple life on a remote island in French Polynesia turns into an adventure far beyond what they imagined. And let us not forget Carl Emil Pettersson, a Swedish sailor whose extraordinary life is believed to have helped shape one of Astrid Lindgren’s most memorable characters: Pippi Longstocking’s seafaring father.

Available as both a podcast and a book, If I Survive is written by Danish adventurer and author Bjørn Harvig, drawing on his own passion for exploration. The result is an action-packed and suspenseful experience for curious kids that goes beyond the thrill of survival, leaving room for reflection, wonder and admiration for what people are capable of when faced with the impossible.
