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 fo
