Everyday Odysseys

As you’ll see over and over again in this series, people can channel their energy in pretty amazing ways in the face of adversity. In this episode. we hear from Lainie.  She consulted a cosmetic surgeon to make some changes she felt she needed. What she discovered changed her life. Listen as she walks us through her journey from possible cancer to a double mastectomy- to turning her story into an award winning film.

You'll love the story about how her family, friends and her community were at her side through the process- and how she's made it her mission to give back. 

In Episode 1, we listened to firefighter Rob Weisberg recall 9/11 and his actions. In Part 2, we focus on Rob having to get HIMSELF to safety after a long day, and the physical and emotional toll that day- and the 9 months he spent volunteering at "the pit"- took on him.

PTSD, survivor's guilt, health issues... and we find out what became of the "million dollar man" we lost track of in Part 1.

Everyday Odysseys is a new series that chronicles the lives of ordinary people dealing with often extraordinary situations. 

In the series premiere, we meet Rob- an account by trade and a fire fighter by passion. As he exited the subway near his office in lower Manhattan, he was quite literally swept off his feet as the first jet struck the first tower on 9/11. He walks us through the day as he helped as many people as he could from a firehouse far away from the one he normally works out of. The story is punctuated with audio clips and sound design to bring us deeper into Rob's experience.

You'll hear how he went from accountant to hero in the span of an afternoon as the story unfolds. WARNING: some of the sound design may be triggering to those sensitive to content about 9/11.  It's a very intense, emotional story- and it's just the beginning of what has been a 20 year journey that still effects him in big ways.

Everyday Odysseys is mixed in Binaural Audio in the hopes of placing you in the room and at the scene. It's best listened to with headphones.
