Jim Davidson and Mike Price, two friends and experienced climbing partners, summited Mount Rainier on June 21, 1992. As they descended, a hidden snowbridge collapsed beneath Jim’s feet and dropped him into a large glacial crevasse. Connected to Jim by the climbing rope, Mike tried to stop the fall but couldn’t.

In a heartbreaking conversation, Jim shares this painful memory with Ant - and how loss, resilience and the strength to survive has shaped not only that fateful day, but the rest of his life.

'Improvise... Adapt... Overcome' - these three words always resonated with Paul de Gelder, but they took on a whole new meaning after he was attacked by a shark in 2009. Paul was working as an elite Navy clearance diver, and the incident caused him to lose two limbs. 

In this episode, Paul and Ant reflect on that day and what saved his life, his mental health in recovery and how humour, resilience and a few good mates can get you through anything.

Jack Beaumont has one incredible story. He was a fighter pilot for the French air force, when an injury during dogfight training changed his life forever.

Jack was then recruited by French intelligence to work for the DGSE - balancing family life with working undercover in clandestine foreign operations. 

In this episode, Jack takes us into the mindset of a spy. He delves into the moment where he felt he'd turned into a monster - and what ultimately made him walk away.

February 6th, 2021 is the day that Sean Turnell's world got flipped upside down. After receiving an anonymous tip off that military leadership in Myanmar were coming for him, Sean went to check out of his hotel, and was arrested.

The 58 year old Economist from Australia would go on to spend 650 days behind bars. Sean shares the horrors of that period with Ant - how he survived Yangon's notorious Insein Prison, what it was like to face spy charges and his bizarre story of release.
