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.

Did Russia Silence Boris Berezovsky? Inside the Mysterious 2013 Death

In March 2013, Russian billionaire and outspoken Putin critic Boris Berezovsky was found dead in the bathroom of his Berkshire estate. Officially, his death was left an “open verdict,” with investigators unable to rule suicide or foul play. But Berezovsky’s life was anything but ordinary—once a Kremlin insider who helped Putin rise to power, he later became a target after falling out with Moscow. His sudden death fit a chilling pattern of Russian exiles in Britain meeting mysterious ends, from radioactive poisonings to nerve agent attacks. Was Berezovsky’s demise truly self-inflicted—or was it the latest chapter in a shadow war on foreign soil?

On Fire: The Jamie Hull Story p1

On the 19th of August 2007, British Army reservist and SAS trooper Jamie Hull was days away from completing his private pilot's licence when his aircraft engine caught fire during a solo training flight over Florida, he had 45 seconds to decide how to save his life. With the cockpit engulfed in flames and the plane descending rapidly, Jamie did something that should have been impossible. He climbed out of the burning cockpit, stood on the wing of a plummeting aircraft, and jumped. The plane exploded sixty feet behind him. What followed was six months in intensive care, six months in a coma, third degree burns to 60% of his body, over 60 operations, and a 5% chance of survival. And then the longer, quieter battle rebuilding a life, a body and an identity from the wreckage. This is not just a story about surviving a plane crash.

Yuba County 5

The Yuba County Five were a group of young men from Yuba County, California in the United States, each with mild intellectual disabilities or psychiatric conditions. The boys were reported missing after attending a college basketball game at CSU, Chico (also known as Chico State), on the night of February 24, 1978. That night would lead to a large-scale search for the young men that would take months before there was a breakthrough. Eventually some of the boys were located and that would lead to far more questions than answers.

What the attorney thinks - Pamela Schrader

We recently wrapped up the story of Pamela Schrader, who is serving life without parole for a murder she insists she had no part in. Under Florida’s unique laws, however, she was found guilty and sentenced for the death of her employer. The actual killing was carried out by Noe Peña, who admitted to the crime but claimed Pam orchestrated it. He took a plea deal, receiving a 30-year sentence with the possibility of parole, while Pam faces the prospect of dying behind bars. The central question remains: was this an independent act by the killer, or was Pam equally culpable? The jury said yes but what does our resident legal expert, “The Voice of Reason” Michael Leonard, think? I sat down with him to find out. EARLY AND AD FREE ACCESS: for as little as $1.69 a week!

Convicted on Bite Mark Evidence P3: The Charles McCrory Case

In 1985, Charles McCrory found his wife, Julie Bonds, brutally murdered in their Andalusia, Alabama, home. Just two small marks on her arm—misrepresented in court as a definitive “bite mark”—became the sole forensic evidence used to convict him for her murder. A forensic odontologist, famed for testifying at Ted Bundy’s trial, claimed the impressions matched McCrory’s like a fingerprint. Yet decades later, that same expert fully recanted the testimony, acknowledging the scientific consensus now recognises bite mark evidence as unreliable “junk science”. With no blood, no DNA, and hair in the victim’s hand that didn’t match McCrory’s, his conviction rested entirely on this flawed forensic interpretation. Over 40 years later, even as two independent forensic dentists testified that the so called bite mark was never human, Alabama courts repeatedly denied him a new trial, judging that his lengthy imprisonment still stood, and that procedural hurdles outweighed modern science In July 2024, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to review his case. Justice Sotomayor warned that wrongful convictions like his, based on “faulty science,” are startlingly common and urged state and federal lawmakers to enact stronger safeguards to prevent miscarriages of justice.

SEALs don’t leave their Swim Buddy P5 - Dustin Turner

In the Navy SEALs, no rule is more sacred than this: you never leave your swim buddy. For Dustin “Dusty” Turner, that bond would change the course of his life forever. In 1995, Dusty and his swim buddy Billy Brown went out for what was meant to be a simple night of drinks. By the next morning, a young woman by the name of Jennifer Evans was dead, eight days later Billy and Dusty are arrested and eventually both are convicted of the crime. Despite overwhelming evidence that his Navy SEAL Swim-Buddy who later confessed to the crime was the true perpetrator, Turner was sentenced to 82 years without the possibility of parole. The actual killer who was also convicted of attempted rape, received a lesser sentence of 72 years. The case took a dramatic turn in 1999 when Brown confessed that he alone had killed Jennifer and stated that Dusty had no role in her death. Neither Dusty, the jury that convicted him nor the public learned of this confession until 2002. Shortly thereafter, Dusty filed a petition for a Writ of Innocence. At an evidentiary hearing on the petition in 2008, Brown provided in detail testimony that laid bare his own guilt for Jennifer’s murder. Dusty also testified at the hearing. Both men gave the same account of what happened that Dusty gave his Warrant Officer eight days after Jennifer’s death. The court would rule the following "this court finally finds that Mr. Brown is credible in his assertion that he acted independently in murdering the victim and that Mr. Turner had no role in the murder or in the restraining of the victim." Based on the findings of Judge Lowe, a 2 to 1 panel of Judges at the Virginia Court of Appeals granted Dusty a Writ of Innocence holding that he was, in fact, “actually innocent” and should be set free.

What I Survived explores the extraordinary true stories of people who survived the unthinkable. Each story takes you back to who these people were before everything changed, then inside the moment their lives were pushed to the edge, shipwrecked at sea for weeks, held captive by terrorists, falling 15,000 feet from a plane after a parachute failure, and other extreme, life-or-death situations. Through first-hand accounts, we follow the ordeal as it happened, the decisions made under unimaginable pressure, and the will it took to survive. Then what came after, the physical and psychological recovery, and the process of rebuilding a life forever altered. From the creator of award winning shows One Minute Remaining, Wanted and more.
