Sit back and listen to some of the most engaging stories to have appeared in Reader’s Digest magazine.
RD Talks brings you the real-life unforgettable crime investigations, dramas in real life, and inspirational and heart-warming moments you’ve come to expect from the magazine. Each one will amaze, stir your emotions and have you celebrating the courage of everyday heroes.
From sinister brutal husband/wife murder mystery, The Case of the Missing Keys, to the tear-jerking story of a sweet natured baby boy in Family for Freddie, who finally finds the perfect loving home just in time for Christmas.
There’s also a terrifying tale of survival in Crocodile Attack, a freak hot air balloon accident in Ascent to Terror, and The Man Who Wouldn’t Die, that sees a hard-working family man start a normal day at work only to face the horror of being encased with bitumen. Will he survive?
But it doesn’t end there. Dozens of real life tales will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Carefully selected and recorded by the team at Reader’s Digest (Australia) magazine, episodes range from 10-30 minutes.
