- North of Ordinary: Sue Aikens Tells the Story of a Life Few Could Survive
Today's episode of "Greta Wire" is a deep and personal conversation with author and "Life Below Zero" star Sue Aikens, whose life in the Kavik River Camp in remote Alaska feels almost impossible by ordinary standards.
Aikens' memoir, "North of Ordinary: How One Woman Left It All Behind for Wilderness and Wonder in Alaska's Frozen Frontier," is now available in bookstores.
Greta reconnects with Aikens years after first meeting her in the Arctic and explores how she came to live such an isolated, demanding life. Aikens reflects on being taken to Alaska by her mother as a child, being abandoned there at age twelve, and learning to survive in brutal conditions long before most people could imagine handling them.
The discussion moves through her early years, the solitude that shaped her, and the strange mix of hardship, self-reliance, and instinct that ultimately became the foundation of her identity.
The episode also dives into the realities of her adult life at Kavik River Camp, hundreds of miles from any town, where she runs a remote outpost, hunts for food, manages extreme weather, and lives for long stretches without seeing another person. Aikens recounts surviving a horrifying grizzly bear attack, stitching herself up, dragging herself to safety, and enduring days alone before being found.
Along the way, the conversation touches on marriage, motherhood, flying in Alaska, aging, and what keeps her committed to a place and a lifestyle most people would never choose. The result is less an interview than a portrait of one of the toughest and most unusual lives imaginable.

40 min - Dr. Jennifer Ashton on the Weight Loss Drugs That Are Changing Everything
This episode is a wide-ranging conversation with Dr. Jennifer Ashton about GLP-1 medications and why they may be far more significant than simple weight loss tools. She explains that drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and others belong to a broader class of therapies that appear to affect not just body weight, but inflammation, heart health, liver health, immune response, and even behaviors like alcohol consumption. The discussion explores how researchers are discovering these broader benefits in real time, and why Ashton believes the medical community is only beginning to understand how powerful these drugs may be.
The conversation also moves into bigger questions about prevention, insurance coverage, obesity treatment, and how medicine often oversimplifies weight by blaming patients instead of recognizing the many biological and environmental factors involved. Ashton argues that these medications can be transformative when used with proper medical supervision, while also stressing that they are not casual wellness shortcuts. The episode closes on a more personal and practical note, with the discussion shifting to strength training, aging, infrared saunas, and everyday health habits, giving the whole conversation a mix of serious medical insight and relaxed back-and-forth familiarity.

41 min - Greta Talks to "Iron" Mike Tyson — Then Alan Dershowitz Drops a Stunning Verdict
This premiere episode of "Greta Wire" takes a fresh look at championship boxer and actor Mike Tyson through two very different lenses: the private man and the public scandal that reshaped his life.
Greta Van Susteren begins by explaining that after years of knowing Tyson, what has always stayed with her is how unlike his fearsome public image he really is in person—gentle, reflective, and deeply human. That sets up a long, informal conversation with Tyson that feels more personal than performative.
In Tyson’s segment, the discussion moves through his current life, including his amateur boxing invitational, his training habits, his love of boxing history, his devotion to pigeons, his diet, his family, and an upcoming exhibition in Africa. The tone is warm and conversational, showing Tyson as disciplined, nostalgic, and surprisingly soft-spoken, while also revealing how central boxing still is to his identity.
The episode then pivots to the question that has shadowed Tyson for decades: his 1992 rape conviction. Van Susteren brings in Harvard law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz, Tyson’s appellate lawyer, to address it directly. Dershowitz does not hedge. He argues that Tyson was innocent, that the conviction was a grave miscarriage of justice, and that the trial was damaged by poor lawyering, excluded evidence, and what he describes as corruption in the Indiana courts.
Dershowitz walks through the facts as he sees them, insisting that key eyewitness testimony should have changed the outcome and that the legal system failed Tyson at every stage. His account is blunt, emotional, and legally specific, turning the second half of the episode into a forceful challenge to the conventional understanding of Tyson’s case.
Overall, the episode is both a character portrait and a legal reexamination. It presents Tyson not simply as a former heavyweight champion with a notorious past, but as a man Van Susteren believes has long been misunderstood — and as someone Dershowitz says was wrongfully convicted in one of the most consequential chapters of his life.
