  • S5 E24 Martin Bodek wrote his grandfather's journey across 5 armies in an impossible war.
    Feb 11 2025

    He's mostly known for writing Haggadah parodies, but his most recent book chronicles his Grandfather's WWII memoirs as a survivor of four armies, being present for the largest land invasion in human history, and the final battle of WWII in the European front. He avoided cannibalism, poisoning, and a 1600 mile walk home, all to have a career as a chef. You don't want to miss this one.

  • S5 Ep21 Imagine a literal blow to the head is what it takes to start healing. Laura Renner lived it.
    Jan 21 2025

    Laura Renner is a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) charge nurse who suffered a traumatic brain injury in 2021, which only added to her list of major health scares over the previous four years. This prompted her to dig deeper into her past and led to the realization that she had complex trauma and needed help. She’s now turned it into a hilarious story of hope and survival for others.

  • S5 E20 Her parents were slave labor in WWII. Why aren't we talking about that more?
    Jan 14 2025

    Oksana's parents were both 'conscripted' into being slave labor for the Nazis. They weren't in a concentration camp, so we've never heard of them. But there were more people forced into slave labor during the war than were killed in camps. This is a side of the war rarely (if ever) discussed. It's time that changed.
