Finding Natasha
In the early 70s, Debbie Gayle was one of Britain’s most promising young ballerinas. At the age of 17, she was chosen to go to the Soviet Union and become the first Westerner to train at Russia’s finest ballet academy. It was a dream come true for her, but just a few months later, things took a near deadly turn for her. She made it out of the country thanks to a young girl named Natasha who she never saw or heard from again. In Finding Natasha, Debbie’s son Jake Warren – a journalist and podcaster – sets out to understand the story of his mum’s past, and to find the woman who saved her 50 years ago. Finding Natasha is a Message Heard production.

This is such a great story and going on the journey is amazing. Trying not to give too much away from the podcast. I have so many thoughts. I hope the main character knows how brave she truly was to have gone on this journey. I was 17 in 1984 and the USSR was a mysterious, scary place. For her to have taken the leap and then have the chance to revisit her story. Hope to find more podcasts by this host. Cannot recommend enough.
This was lovely

I enjoyed listening to this story - I wish there was more details about Natasha’s life - perhaps another episode?! Wishing all the best to Debbie and Natasha♥️

Thank you Jake. I’m so glad this story was not lost. Both girls made courageous choices of different sorts. It is nice to know the bonds of two teenagers endured through all those years.
