What do you do when your Humvee gets rocked by an IED blast… and a suspicious car creeps toward you through the dust? Most people freeze. Navy Corpsman Noi Dumpit didn't. He confronted the driver — thinking it could be his last moment — and somehow chose not to pull the trigger.In this episode of Urban Valor, Noi relives the chaos of Fallujah, where life and death blurred by the second. He breaks down the day his Humvee was launched into the air by a vehicle-borne IED, and the surreal moment that followed when he faced a possible suicide bomber.But the IED blast was only one chapter. Noi also opens up about his post-deployment struggles, the moral confusion of letting terrorists through checkpoints, and how martial arts eventually became his path to healing. From battlefield trauma to rebuilding a business back home, this story is raw, real, and unforgettable.

Comedian Nick Capper joins Knuckles for a brutally honest and hilariously raw yarn about surviving testicular cancer. From discovering a tiny lump during Melbourne's lockdown, to enduring awkward scans with a little too much gel, to the surreal moment he was asked to “make a deposit” at a children's hospital sperm clinic — Capper tells it all. But the laughs sit alongside an important message: check yourself, because cancer doesn't discriminate. The pair swap stories about men's health, undescended testicles (human and canine), and the stubborn pride that stops too many blokes from seeing a doctor. It's part comedy, part cautionary tale, and all Proper True Yarn.#propertrueyarn Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Barbara Peters in conversation with Elise Hart Kipness

Close Call is the third book in the Kate Green series, and it's the best yet. Elise Hart Kipness returns with her sports reporter heroine, Kate, as she covers the U.S. Open tennis championship in Flushing Meadows. Drama is always at the extremes during these tournaments, but this time it takes a very dark turn when one of the headliners suddenly disappears. When young up and coming tennis star, Brynn receives a text message with a photo of the missing woman, Kate is drawn in to find the public façade these players hide behind is crumbling. What's hidden are secrets worth killing for. Kate sorts out some of her own family secrets as she uncovers the explosive truth. Fast paced, with characters you'd want would root for. Listen to Elise talk about the origins of the story, her personal connection to the U.S. Open, and what was the most difficult thing for her to capture on the page of this fantastic book.

Why do customers say “yes” to one tech and “no” to another? It often comes down to two overlooked influence skills: Consensus and Likability.

On the 25th of June, our regular City Counselling guest Julie Fairey was involved in a road collision while she was biking in her local area. Fairey wrote about the close call, which she says could have been a lot worse, in a piece published in the Spinoff, as a reinvigoration of her previous advocacy around the need for road safety measures that improve how safely and efficiently Aucklanders can get around the city. As well, this week we've seen the release of the State of the City report, which compares Auckland on metrics including opportunity and prosperity, culture and experience, place and connectivity, innovation and knowledge, and resilience and sustainability. The report found that we are ‘falling behind' other cities, with the biggest emphasis placed on our poor economic productivity in comparison with similar locations. Producer Sara spoke with Julie Fairey about both of these topics, firstly by asking her what motivated her to write about her recent collision.

Dustan was thrown from a vehicle while knocked unconcious shattering his shoulder and left in the desert with no clothes, identification, or anything but severe wounds leaving him unable to walk and could only crawl to save himself. Listen in on how he survived and his take on life in general and just how precious life is to him now.

We're back with Part 2 with Ken Perenyi, arguably one of the art world's greatest and most successful conman?!In Part 1 of Ken's STIMY interview (do check it out if you haven't already done so), we covered his journey including how he first launched his art forgery 'career' (hint: it involves a broken bathroom that crashed through the ceiling to the restaurant below!).In Part 2, Ken discusses his motivations, the thrill of creating and selling fake art, and how he managed to avoid capture by both the mafia and the FBI. Highlights include a $750,000 art piece he painted, adopting his daughter due to a CNN documentary by Christiane Amanpour, and the psychological tactics he employed to fool art experts. Despite the rather questionable nature of his work, Ken views his career with a mix of pride and reflection, acknowledging missed opportunities and his philosophical outlook on life. He also recounts his controversial friendships with high-profile figures like Roy Cohn (the notorious lawyer/fixer who helped Donald Trump gain a footing in New York) and his thoughts on the challenges for contemporary artists breaking into the industry.Highlights:01:44 Ken's Artistic Journey and Motivations05:46 The Art of Deception: Techniques and Challenges10:53 Close Calls with the Mafia and FBI16:04 The Investigation and Its Aftermath33:32 Reflections on Life Choices and Missed Opportunities38:23 Rescuing a Daughter from Sex Slavery39:47 A Life Transformed by Art40:04 The Rescue Mission in Ghana43:52 Adopting Bridget and Her Journey46:02 Reflections on Life Choices01:04:28 The Art World and Its Challenges01:15:22 Final Thoughts and Legacy

First, we hear the story of Michael and Courtney, who on a hiking trip near Hunter's Creek encountered mysterious and unsettling events, including strange whistles, violent brush shaking, and an eerie figure. The second account details Donovan's frightening experiences as a child in 1978, where a series of disturbing encounters with a hairy unknown creature led to a lingering sense of fear and eventual family tragedy.Join Mireya's Explorer Society Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsVisit Untold Radio AM00:00 Introduction and Background 00:33 The Adventure Begins 03:08 Encountering the Unknown 05:49 A Mysterious Whistle 09:54 Panic and Retreat 15:16 Final Escape 21:16 Strange Noises and Dead Phones 22:43 A Haunting Encounter 23:42 A Terrifying Scream 26:13 A New Story: Donovan's Experience 27:24 The Shadow in the Trees 28:41 An Attempted Abduction 29:41 The Family's Fear and Response 32:12 A Close Call 33:56 A Final Confrontation 42:48 A Tragic Ending 43:32 Conclusion and ThanksBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.
