ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½

Lives Less Ordinary is a podcast from the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ World Service that brings you the most incredible true stories from around the world. Step into someone else’s life and expect the unexpected.

Each episode a guest shares their most dramatic, moving, personal story. Listen for unbelievable twists, mysteries uncovered, and inspiring journeys - spanning the entire human experience.

Our guests come from every corner of the globe: from Burundi to Beverly Hills, New Zealand to North Korea, Rajasthan to Rio. And their stories can be about anything: tales of survival, humour, resilience and intrigue. From the mind-blowing account of the Japanese man trapped in his own reality TV show, to the Swedish women rescued from lions by a tin of spam. It’s life’s wild side, in stereo.

Lives Less Ordinary is brought to you by the team behind Outlook, the home of true life storytelling on ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ World Service radio for nearly 60 years.
