On this episode of The Neil Haley Show, acclaimed wildlife filmmaker Mike Gunton, executive producer of The Americas, discusses the origins and impact of his groundbreaking nature documentary series airing on NBC and Peacock. Gunton explains how combining North and South America into one cinematic journey had never been done before. With narration by Tom Hanks, The Americas offers a guided safari through breathtaking regions, focusing on the extreme survival challenges faced by animals and how they parallel human life. Gunton emphasizes the need for viewers to reconnect with nature and protect vulnerable ecosystems.
Author and Bible teacher Jerry Mitchell joins Neil to explore his journey from life on a farm to becoming a podcast host and author of Tradition to Truth. Jerry reflects on how hands-on experiences with animals gave him unique insights into faith, behavior, and biblical interpretation. Through his Give God 90 podcast and books, he encourages people to question traditional doctrines and dig into the Bible with fresh eyes. He also shares the powerful impact of one specific biblical mystery—the timeline of the crucifixion—and how deeper context can change understanding.
In a vital health segment, Alonzo Mourning, NBA Hall of Famer, and LaVarne Burton, CEO of the American Kidney Fund, raise awareness about APol1-mediated kidney disease (AMKD). Mourning shares his personal story of being diagnosed with FSGS, a form of AMKD, and how a transplant saved his life. Now a spokesperson for Vertex Pharmaceuticals, Mourning urges those with African or Caribbean ancestry to consider genetic testing. Burton explains the importance of early detection and transparency with healthcare providers, and promotes AMKD Awareness Day and educational resources available at kidneyfund.org/amkd.
The episode continues with Robert K. Boyce, retired NYPD Chief of Detectives and executive producer of New York Homicide on Oxygen. Boyce details how his law enforcement career evolved into producing the series, which follows real-life cases across all five New York boroughs. He emphasizes the emotional and professional commitment detectives bring to solving homicide cases, and the importance of honoring victims’ families. Boyce also reflects on how working through grief, trauma, and complex investigations shaped his lifelong respect for the value of human life.
Together, these conversations showcase the depth and variety of The Neil Haley Show. From the wild landscapes of the Americas to the emotional journeys of health, faith, and justice, each guest brings a compelling story. Whether it's saving ecosystems, solving crimes, uncovering spiritual truths, or raising health awareness, this episode is a rich tapestry of impact and insight.
