On this powerful episode of Road Gang Radio, host Jimmy Mac sits down with award-winning journalist and author Jeanne Carstensen to discuss her unforgettable new book, A Greek Tragedy: One Day, A Deadly Shipwreck, and the Human Cost of the Refugee Crisis.

Carstensen brings listeners into the heart of the largest Aegean shipwreck of 2015—when an overloaded boat carrying Syrian refugees broke apart off the coast of Lesvos, Greece. After nearly a decade of investigation across Europe and the Middle East, Jeanne reveals the full story: from the desperation that drove families to flee, to the harrowing 24 hours surrounding the disaster, to the local heroes who rushed into action while governments stood still.

In a world increasingly shaped by displacement and migration, A Greek Tragedy is a timely, humanizing account of courage, loss, and survival. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone seeking to understand the real stories behind the headlines—and the people who live them.
