Episode Description

For Cheng Lei, being stuck in a Chinese jail was like being buried alive in a concrete coffin. Wrongly incarcerated on espionage charges, the Australian journalist endured years of hell. Her hair fell out, she suffered insomnia and was only known by a number. But the worst part was not seeing her two young children. Almost two years after she was released and reunited with her family, Lei joins Gary Jubelin to share what it took to survive.

Cheng Lei: My Story premieres Tuesday June 3 at 7:30pm AEST on Sky News Australia

Explicit Palmemordet Dan Hörning Podcasten Palmemordet är granskning av alla fakta i mordet på Sveriges statsminister Olof Palme den 28:e februari 1986. Vilka fakta finns det? Vilka spår har utretts ordentligt och vilka är fortfarande lovande? Målet är att vara en resurs för den som är intresserad av Palmemordet. Syftet med podden är inte att lösa mordet - vi är här i syfte att presentera alla spår och fakta. Vi har ingen egen teori. Det sägs att det tar nio år att läsa genom allt material i Palmeutredningen. Det finns människor som hellre tar till sig materialet genom att lyssna på det. Det är för dem vi gör den här podcasten.Podden Palmemordet skapades av Dan Hörning 2016. Idag görs podden omväxlande av honom och Tobias Henricsson. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Explicit
