Wondery is launching Don’t Panic, a weekly comedy podcast offering coping mechanisms and survival advice for life’s worst-case scenarios.
Each episode will feature a vivid soundscape to make it sound scary, while comedian and host Anthony Atamanuik explains how to withstand each dilemma.
Atamaniuk says that staying alive in the most ridiculous situations is what keeps him up at night. If you’re attacked by a swarm of killer bees, do you lay on the ground and play dead? Climb up a tree? Jump into the nearest body of water with a little straw poking out as a breathing apparatus? We could find ourselves caught in a million wild situations, and if you don’t know what to do, you might not make it out alive!
In Don’t Panic, super-worrier Atamaniuk brings to life our most irrational fears and anxieties with some of the funniest people on the planet, from how to escape from a submerged vehicle to how to escape from quicksand.
Guests will also share what keeps them doom scrolling on their phones, and learn what to do in every ridiculous, worst-case scenario situation that couldn’t possibly happen in real life. Or could it?
Don’t Panic will launch on Wondery+ on 3 July and will be available on all podcast platforms from 10 July. Prime members can listen to new episodes ad-free on Amazon Music from 10 July.
