Plus: A love story that begins in a prison
| | "I'm always up for a challenge. It's like if there's something that makes me nervous, I want to do it until it doesn't make me nervous anymore." Ky Furneaux has made a career out of being fearless. As a stunt performer, she learned to fight with a long staff, how to fall safely, and what to do when cars filled with petrol bombs exploded above her head. Yet her greatest challenge came once she left Hollywood and signed up to spend 21 days naked in a Louisiana swamp. Learn more of Ky's incredible story, told in her own words, in our online article, or tune in to the full interview with Sarah Kanowski on Conversations. Then, dive into a different kind of poignant and personal story: the romance of Ahmed and Danice. What began as an act of kindness by a Melbourne mother to a young man in prison led to a deep and profound love. But the couple's biggest challenge came after Ahmed's release, and they have faced years of anguish and heartache. Read the online story or listen to the full podcast episode from Earshot.
