  • This week we're revisiting Daisy's interview with Tabby Chapman from April 2022.
    Tabby Chapman is a survivor of the NXIVM cult, an American cult that has been exposed as engaging in trafficking, forced labour and racketeering. The cult advertised itself as a self-help development service whilst recruiting women for a secret society called "DOS" in which women were abused. In early 2018, NXIVM's founder, Keith Raniere, and his associate, actress Allison Mack, were arrested and indicted on federal charges.
    Since escaping the cult, Tabby has now trained as a Professional Clinical Counsellor, specialising in Marriage and Family therapy as a way to turn her experiences into help for others. She is also the founder of the Freedom Train Project, an advocacy program for people wishing to leave cults or coercive relationships.
    In this interview, Daisy and Tabby talk about the story of NXIVM, Tabby's experience in the cult and leaving.

  • This week we're revisiting Daisy's interview with Gabby Garcia from February 2022.
    Gabby Garcia was born a conjoined twin; at 8 months old went under highly risky surgery to separate her from her twin, Kayla. 13 years later, the mesh that was used to separate them caused complications - resulting in Kayla's death, just one day after Gabby had been cleared to leave hospital herself.
    Gabby now dedicates her time to sharing and educating others about the risk surgery she went under, and life as a former conjoined twin. She's gained over 230K followers on her @oneleggabby TikTok account.
    In this interview, Daisy and Gabby talk about life after being conjoined, and how her sisters death changed her outlook on life.

  • This week we're revisiting Daisy's interview with Chris Lemons from February 2022.
    Chris Lemons has been a deep sea diver for over 14 years, but a freak accident in 2012 nearly cut things short. His umbilical cord providing him with breathing gas, light and heat being severed - leaving him on the dark sea bed alone with only 3 or 4 minutes of emergency gas to keep him alive. It took his heroic rescuers over 40 minutes to come back and fetch him and his miraculous survival story has baffled experts ever since. ​

  • Travis Frain is one of a few (although, sadly, a growing number of) people who can say that they have survived a terrorist attack. When he was 19 years old, on a university trip to London, he was attacked on Westminster Bridge in an attack which injured more than 50 people, killing four. The attacker mounted the pavement, driving his van into pedestrians before crashing his car into the fence of the Palace of Westminster and attacking a police officer.
    Today, Travis works as the National Chair of the Counter Terrorism Police Advisory Group and campaigns on behalf of terrorism survivors.
    Daisy Maskell sits down with Travis Frain to hear about how becoming a survivor changed his life, the treatment of terrorist survivors by the media and his experience with disaster trolls.

  • February 14th 2018 is the day that everything changed for Aalayah Eastmond. Whilst in her Holocaust History class at High School (the now infamous Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida), what she first thought was a prank turned out to be her worst nightmare as a shooter had breached campus. Minutes after first hearing gunshots, her classroom became a target for the shooter. Within six minutes of hell, he had shot 34 people, killing 17.
    Aalayah has turned her trauma into advocacy and activism, becoming a founding member of Team Enough, the youth-led gun violence prevention campaign, and she has testified multiple times to the US Congress on gun violence.
    Daisy Maskell sits down with Aalayah Eastmond to hear about how her life changed on that day and the work that must be done to make 'never again' a reality.

  • Hippos are amongst the deadliest animals in the world, and few know the risk better than Paul Templer. Whilst leading a safari along the Zambezi River in Africa, Paul was attacked multiple times by a hippo - including being swallowed, head first, up to his waist. His colleague, Evans Namasango, died during the attack.
    The fact that Templer survived is remarkable in itself; that he later canoed the length of the Zambezi, from source to sea, including coming face-to-face with his attacker again, shows just how remarkably brave and heroic he is.
    Daisy Maskell sits down with Paul Templer to hear the details of the now-infamous 1996 Zambezi River hippopotamus attack, and to hear how the incident has shaped him into the man he is today.
