Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome back to the show.

My guest today is Stephen McGinty,

is an author, journalist and documentary producer.

We are talking about the world's deepest submarine rescue.

In 1973, two British men, Roger Chapman and Roger Mollinson,

were 1500 feet below the surface,

laying transatlantic telephone cables in the Pisces III submarine.

What happened next is one of the longest,

most dangerous, complex and daring rescues ever attempted,

as America, Canada, Ireland and Britain,

marshaled their forces in the air and beneath the sea,

to save the two men.

All while their oxygen, food and power was rapidly running out.

This story is so cool.

Stephen's done like an insane amount of research for it.

And to be honest, I really enjoy changing up the content

that we put out and the sort of stories and guests

that come on modern wisdom.

It's great, learning personal development and getting new skills

and finding hacks and stuff about life.

But I just enjoy learning and reminiscing

and finding out about crazy experiences
