  Last week's episode was about the expression against all odds.

  And today, you'll hear a story about a man who survived against all odds.

  My name is Shauna and this is the American English Podcast.

  Let's do it!

  The other day, I researched most incredible survival stories from the United States.

  And the goal for that was to find a story that would be exciting,

• 01:06

  and maybe even a little unbelievable.

• 01:09

  And I ended up discovering, or rediscovering, the story of Hugh Glass,

• 01:17

  a frontiersman from the early 1800s who dramatically fought a grizzly bear and survived.

• 01:27

  The story inspired the Hollywood film The Revenant with Leonardo DiCaprio.

  Lucas and I saw it when it came out in theaters in 2016,

• 01:39

  and I can still visualize most of the dramatic fighting scenes,

  which is not really my thing, but Man, the story is entertaining and I bet you'll enjoy it.
