1. The story of 20-year-old Syrian photographer, Abdulazez Dukhan
An inspirational conversation with the amazing Abdulazez about his journey from a nice house in Syria, to a refugee camp in Greece, to life in Belgium!
I met Abdulazez whilst he was living in that refugee camp in Greece back in 2016 and we became friends. I had never met anyone like him.
Since being given a camera by a volunteer in that camp, Abdulazez has documented every step of his journey. He uses powerful photography and digital art to bring a voice to the people he represents, through his Facebook page called ‘Through Refugee Eyes.’
We recorded this podcast the day after Abdulazez had a big exhibition of his work in London...something that we could have only dreamed about happening when we first met.

3. The Story of Search and Rescue worker Brendan Woodhouse
This week my guest is real-life-superhero Brendan Woodhouse, a firefighter and father of two from Nottingham.
We talk about his journey from normal life in the UK, to saving lives in the Mediterranean Sea.
It all started when he saw a Facebook post I wrote about the Calais Jungle Refugee Camp back in 2015, which prompted him to start collecting donations and driving over to Calais himself.
Before long, Brendan headed out to the Greek Island of Lesvos following news reports of thousands of people arriving to it’s shores seeking asylum.
There, he began working in Search and Rescue, helping boats safely to land.
The last four years have taken Brendan on a life-changing journey, which he shares with you today. I hope it resonates with you as much as it did me... his story about the baby will stay with me forever....
