À propos de ce contenu audio

 Extremes is a show about people who’ve lived through extraordinary situations. These are big stories with enormous stakes. There’s no pattern to the stories that our guests tell: some are funny, others are sad. Some situations were accidents, others were created deliberately—but all provide a window into human behaviour.

    • The Man Who Woke From a Coma Speaking Chinese

      The Man Who Woke From a Coma Speaking Chinese
      Jun 28 2019

      Ben McMahon learned Chinese in a Melbourne high school, but, like a lot of people who learn languages at high school, he didn’t really. But years later, when Ben was involved in a car accident, he woke up inexplicably speaking Chinese.


      Ben didn’t fumble or hesitate when he spoke. He didn't even have to translate from English in his head. Somehow the parts of his brain responsible for language had mysteriously flipped to Chinese.


      On this episode of Extremes we unpack Ben’s belief that destiny put him in that car accident. That he was supposed to learn fluent Chinese and ultimately appear on the world’s most-viewed dating show, "If You Are the One."

      Near Death in the Antarctic
      Jun 6 2019
      Peter Bland is a Australian businessman who was almost the first person to cross the Antarctic Peninsula unsupported. But on the home stretch, he was hit by an avalanche and washed down a crevasse. We talk to Peter about ego. The things it can propel us to achieve, and the pain it puts us through.
