À propos de ce contenu audio

Coming 7th October...


From Naomi Channell, TV producer, journalist, and host of the hit true crime podcast REAL, comes a brand-new series that proves the most extraordinary stories aren’t always about crime… they’re about life.


In REAL LIVES, Naomi sits down with people whose experiences are stranger, wilder, and more moving than fiction.


From a victim of a bigamist to a Dunblane survivor, the UK’s first commercial surrogate to a woman jilted at the altar, and even a death doula who helps people face the end — these are stories of resilience, heartbreak, survival, and reinvention.


Twisting, gripping, and deeply human, REAL LIVES invites you into the moments that changed everything. These aren’t just stories. They’re real lives.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    • 'My Brother Killed 2 People... But I'll Always Stand By Him'
      Feb 24 2026

      On this episode, I am joined by a woman who we are calling 'Natalie' to protect her identity. Her brother is serving a natural life order for killing two people and Natalie is here to give insight in to what it is like, grieving the loss of her brother, not through death, but through his incarceration.


      With approximately 300 people jailed for murder every year in England and Wales, the families of the perpetrators are seldom heard in the media and in a very raw and real interview, Natalie explains how it's impacted her life and why she's chosen to stand by him.


      This is REAL LIVES.
