Award-winning British journalist and broadcaster Charlie Webster experienced life after death. After completing a 3000 mile charity cycling challenge from Europe to South America ahead of the 2016 Olympic Games, she became critically ill and was put on life support. Her dire situation made global headlines. But after two weeks in a coma, Charlie made a miraculous recovery that baffled doctors both in Brazil and the UK.
While in the coma, Charlie had an “NDE” – near death experience – in which her mind was very much alive despite her body giving up. Throughout this inspirational eight-part series, Charlie chronicles her profound and captivating experience, sharing vivid memories of being in a coma while doctors worked to save her and family gathered to await her fate, opening up a greater conversation about the afterlife.
Charlie also acts as a detective, piecing together clues to build a bulletproof case as to how to approach death, and how to live in the here and now. She meets with “experiencers” and hears their startling personal encounters with death and the beyond, as well as with experts – scientific and spiritual opinion leaders – who are using hard science and modern technology to gain never-before seen or heard evidence of the afterlife.

Ep 1: A Beginning or an End?
A fate that awaits us all - death. Despite a century of studies, we have only a fraction of understanding on what to expect when we stop breathing, living, existing. Or do we? It is estimated that around 20% of the population has experienced something that could be construed as end of life behavior. For some, these are not sensations triggered by night terror dreams, hallucinogenic drugs or a vivid imagination but clinical medical emergencies. They have been taken to the very edge of their body and brain's expiration boundary… seen and sensed what is behind that veil of mystery… but recovered to awaken with transformational effects on the rest of their lives.
This eight part documentary from Charlie Webster and Lionsgate Sound opens up on life after a near death experience in personal, poignant, painful or peaceful circumstances.

Ep 3: Friend or Foe?
Fight or flight? NDEers share their own accounts of the circumstances where, why and what caused their experiences and assess the entities encountered and how and who they represented. NDE’s range between passive, euphoric dreamlike transcendence and horrific, malevolent traumas that leave a haunting legacy. With frank comparisons between lightness and darkness, play and pain, do we carry an array of sweet or sour memories into the afterlife?

Ep 4: Hearts & Minds
The after life and how to prepare for it. A simple statement but, in brutal reality, is it a logical one? As they have done throughout the series, a wide range of respected opinion leaders - in medical, philosophical, psychological circles dissect the probability of an existence beyond this world. Is there something and someone waiting for us when we cross and is it actually to some ‘other’ place? Hopefulness or hopelessness? Science and faith regularly contradict each other, so will life after death push belief to a further boundary of acceptance?

Ep 5: Self Infliction and Reflection
Near death experiences aren’t always unexpected. For many, mental wellness and life traumas contribute to a deterioration in quality of life, an existence and little else. Whether a life long self doubt or a trigger based on abuse or any type, depression can push any of us closer to suicide, any gender, any age. Those who have sought to end their lives prematurely have also experienced NDE’s and those that remain, report a variety of impacts upon the version of themselves that survived their attempts to end life.

Ep 6: Our Shared Destiny
The simple truth. With immortality still unproven in modern science, we will all one day... die. But what part does the life we lead - and the length and location of our life - play in our belief that we can be carried to another - may be celestial - plain? Geographic and religious demography plays an important role in how we report our NDE’s and accordingly, how such declarations of near death encounters are received in the communities and family circles in which we live. During this episode Charlie takes the Greyson NDE scale assessment.

Customer Reviews
Fascinating and eye opening
This podcast was truly fantastic. I was intrigued the entire time listening and am now devastated that I finished it. I want more!
Meh
The subject of the podcast is something I'm very interested in, but I only semi-enjoyed listening. I understand that she had an NDE, but she spends too much time very dramatically talking about herself and turning guest interviews into comparisons with her own experience. I fast forwarded most of the podcast.
Entertaining Heart Wrenching & Revelatory
Thoughtfully Entertaining While Extremely Thorough in Communicating & Exposing the Character, Activities, & Traumatic Impact of a Manipulative Narcissistic Woman. A must listen to for anyone who is compassionate or involved in any way in relationship with someone like Amanda. Thank you!
