    Her Husband Was Given Months to Live. What Happened Next Changed Everything

    In this powerful and deeply moving episode, Dave Benson speaks with Amy Shaw, a John Maxwell certified speaker, modern impressionist artist, grief guide, end of life concierge, author of Navigating Goodbye, and founder of Walk the Red. Amy’s story is extraordinary. After building a large family of ten children, four biological and six adopted, she and her husband Brian received devastating news. He had terminal brain cancer and was initially given just 6 to 12 months to live. Instead of allowing that diagnosis to define the end of their story, Amy and Brian chose to live with purpose, faith, humour, honesty, and love. In this conversation, Amy opens up about the loss of children, adoption, raising a family through grief, the shock of terminal illness, the importance of speaking openly with children, and how her husband’s final 37 months became a lesson in dignity, courage, and choosing how to live when time is limited. This is a conversation about grief, but it is also about hope. It is about faith, family, resilience, and the quiet strength it takes to keep going when life changes forever. If you have ever loved someone, lost someone, cared for someone, or faced the impossible, Amy’s story will stay with you.

    True Crime, Ted Bundy and the Cost of Telling Real Stories

    This week on The Global Show with Dave Benson, we revisit and upgrade Episode 29 with filmmaker, producer, podcast host and mental health coordinator Celine Beth Olsen. This conversation felt too important to leave behind in the old format. When it first came out, the show still carried more of the comedy led opening style. Since then, The Global Show has grown into a more serious podcast focused on honest, thoughtful and meaningful conversations. This rerelease gives the episode the space and tone it deserves. Celine Beth Olsen has worked across true crime storytelling, documentary production and major networks including Max, Investigation Discovery, Oxygen, ABC and CBS. In this conversation, she talks about her journey into true crime, her work around Ted Bundy, the ethics of documentary making, her podcast True Crime and Hollywood, and the emotional impact that these stories can have on survivors, families, actors, producers and crews. We also discuss the emerging role of mental health coordinators in film, television and documentary work, and why trauma informed care matters when telling stories based on real people’s pain. This is not just a conversation about true crime. It is a conversation about responsibility, storytelling, media narratives, survivors, mental health and what happens behind the scenes when entertainment is built around trauma.

    Diane Sismour joins The Global Show with Dave Benson to talk about a lifetime of storytelling, writing from the age of 12, building characters from real life, and the creative journey that led her into screenwriting. In this conversation, Diane shares how writing helped her through major life changes, how she balanced creativity while raising a family and running businesses, and why she often wrote late at night when the world was quiet. We also dive into her latest project, The Doll Keeper, a dark psychological thriller built around missing girls, a disturbing doll collection, and an antagonist who does not see herself as the villain. Diane explains the spark behind the story, the slow burn thriller style, the award recognition the project has already received, and the plans to grow it into something much bigger.
