The podcast episodes 'Never Forget, Never Forgive' from 'Scamfluencers' and '#351: 500 Teens Trapped On An Island With A Madman That's Hunting Them' from 'Rotten Mango' both explore the concept of survivor guilt in the context of national tragedies.

The first episode delves into how some individuals have exploited the 9/11 attacks by falsely claiming involvement, driven by a desire for attention, sympathy, or personal gain. This can be seen as a form of exploiting survivor guilt for their own benefit. The second episode recounts the Utøya massacre in Norway, where many survivors grappled with the emotional turmoil of having survived while their peers perished.

Both episodes provide insight into how survivor guilt can manifest and the various ways individuals may cope with or misuse this complex emotional response.
