meet Jenny

Jenny Rapson is a writer and storyteller from Ohio. She’s kind of a disaster but she loves her kids, her husband, her cats, books, documentaries, and coffee. Not necessarily in that order.

Jenny has both a raging anxiety disorder and a life-long fascination with disasters, and an obsession with the stories of the people who lived through them and died because of them. The Disaster Queen podcast was born out of her aim to mix empathetic storytelling, true history, and quell her anxiety by learning how modern history’s disasters actually make life safer for the rest of us, IF we learn from them.
