462 Days: Kidnapped in Somalia P1

In August 2008, Australian photojournalist Nigel Brennan travelled to Somalia on assignment. It would be the last decision he made as a free man for nearly a year and a half. Within days of arriving, Nigel and Canadian journalist Amanda Lindhout were ambushed on the outskirts of Mogadishu and taken captive by members of a militant group. What followed was 462 days of unimaginable physical and psychological torment, starvation, isolation, beatings, and a desperate will to survive in conditions that would break most people within weeks. But this is not just a story about captivity. It is a story about what happens to a human being when everything is stripped away. The fear, the negotiation, the impossible decisions made by families on the other side of the world trying to bring their loved ones home. The moments of dark humour and unexpected humanity in the most inhuman of circumstances. And the daring escape attempt that changed everything. Then there is the question that haunts every survivor, who do you become on the other side? How do you rebuild a life, a sense of self, a relationship with the world, after 462 days in hell? In this series Jack Laurence sits down with Nigel Brennan for an extraordinarily candid conversation spanning the months before the kidnapping, the ordeal itself, and the long and difficult road to recovery. It is one of the most remarkable survival stories ever told. Nigels book is avaliable here Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Becoming Mr James: Undercover Inside North Korea

Jim Latrache grew up poor in Denmark, joined the French Foreign Legion as a young man, and spent years as a high-end cocaine dealer to Copenhagen's wealthy elite before a prison sentence gave him five and a half years to reconsider his life choices. What came next nobody could have predicted. When Danish filmmaker Mads Brügger needed someone to pose as a shady arms dealer willing to negotiate illegal weapons and drug deals with North Korean regime officials, he needed someone who could be utterly convincing in the role. Someone with the background, the nerve, and the complete absence of fear that the job required, he called Jim. Under the alias Mr James, Jim travelled to Uganda, Spain, Norway and deep into North Korea itself, meeting with regime officials, sitting across tables from people willing to discuss Scud missiles and methamphetamine factories, all while wearing hidden cameras and knowing that if his cover was blown, people have been killed for considerably less. The result was The Mole, one of the most extraordinary undercover documentaries ever made. But behind the footage is the story of the man who lived it what it actually felt like to walk into the world's most dangerous dictatorship wearing a wire, and what it takes to come out alive. Jims books can be found here Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What I Survived - Season 1

What I Survived explores extraordinary true stories of people who lived through the unthinkable. Each episode begins with who these people were before everything changed, then takes listeners inside the moment their lives were pushed to the edge: shipwrecked at sea for weeks, held captive by terrorists, falling 15,000 feet after a parachute failure, held in Indian prison for 10 years and other extreme, life-or-death situations. Through first-hand accounts, we follow the ordeal as it unfolded, the split-second decisions made under unimaginable pressure, and the sheer will it took to survive. Then comes what happens after: the physical and psychological recovery, and the long process of rebuilding a life forever altered.

Escaping Thailands Death row - David McMillan p3

David McMillan has lead a life that is almost unbelievable, its like something out of a Hollywood crime thriller. Born in the UK to Australian parents David would travel back and forth between the two countries a few times until at the age of 10 his parents divorced and he, his sister and mother made the permanent move to Melbourne. David was always different as a kid, he was expelled from school for trying to make a batch of LSD, a sign of things to come? At eighteen David got a job at the city cinema and by chance would meet some retired safe crackers, safe crackers who were looking to invest their money in the drug business. With no one that could source it for them David jumped in head first and thus changing the course of his entire life. David made millions of dollars, before an Australian task force swooped and he would spend 10 years in maximum security prison in Victoria. Once he was out he decided he was done with Australia and left for the UK, with a stop off in Thailand, a decision that would see him arrested again and facing the death penalty. Just two weeks before he was to be killed by firing squad David did something that no western has ever achieved, he escaped. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Getting Jnr Home - P1

Evaristo Salas was accused of firing two shots into Jose Arreola’s head in Sunnyside in November 1995. He was tried as an adult and convicted by a jury of first-degree murder three days after his 16th birthday and was sentenced to nearly 33 years in prison. The gun used in the murder was never recovered and there was no physical evidence linking Jnr to the killing. His conviction was based on the testimony of a police informant, Bill Bruhn, and Arreola’s girlfriend, Ofelia Cortez (formerly Gonzalez), who was there when her partner was shot. Many TV shows have uncovered horrific truths about the so called 'evidence' in this case, yet Jnr still remains incarcerated. This is his story, as told by him. Hosted on Acast.

Charged with attempted murder, twice - Kimberly Boone Part 4

Welcome back to One Minute Remaining. Today is part four of my chat with Kimberly Boone. Kim was, as she puts it, a 'normal suburban mum' raising two boys and married to a man she says was her best friend, a man she never argued with. A series of events would lead to the eventual arrest of Kim for pre meditated attempted murder, after a shooting at her home in the early hours one morning, Kim says she accidently shot her husband thinking he was an intruder. After supplying police with a statement she was instantly arrested and charged with his attempted murder. While in jail awaiting her trial she would be charged with another count of pre meditated attempted murder against her husband and arson for a house fire that occurred four months prior to the shooting. Kim has always maintained she is innocent of these crimes and has been fighting for 14 years to clear her name. As always I'm not here to try and prove her innocent or guilty, just give her the opportunity to tell her story, a story I'm sure you will agree is quite incredible.
