For this replay episode, Jeff and Sam revisit two fascinating stories from the archives. Jeff tells the remarkable story of Audie Murphy, one of the most decorated American soldiers of World War II, while Sam shares the story of Mary Mallon, better known as Typhoid Mary, the first person in the United States identified as an asymptomatic carrier of typhoid fever.

Two unforgettable stories of courage, history, public health, and the complicated lives behind the legends.

Jeff and Sam honor the lives lost on September 11, 2001. Jeff tells the stories of the heroic passengers and crew aboard United Flight 93 who fought back, along with the story of Father Mychal Judge, FDNY chaplain and the first person officially identified as a casualty of the attacks.

Sam lightens things up with the incredible journey of Rhossi, a Kemp’s ridley sea turtle who was found stranded in Wales and has made his way back toward his native Gulf of Mexico.

We will never forget.

Jeff and Sam talk about their love for Dolly Parton, the importance of bubble-wrapping Cher to protect her at all costs, and somehow manage to fit a harrowing survival story into the middle of it all.

Jeff tells the incredible survival story of Paul Martin Andrews, who was kidnapped at 13 years old in 1973 and held captive in an underground box for eight days before escaping. Andrews later became an advocate for victims of sexual violence and worked to prevent others from suffering what he endured.

Mostly, though, we love Dolly Parton.
