Join veteran storytellers Fred and Reggie as they pull back the curtain on the powerful—and sometimes haunting—stories that shaped their careers and the lives they’ve touched. In this episode you’ll hear:
A 15-year-old survivor from Rwanda who forgave the very man who hacked off his hands
How a raw, 11-episode series on addiction earned a New England Emmy nod and now sparks life-saving conversations in schools
The “glass slides” mystery: 5,000 century-old portraits that reconnected Black families to their vanished roots
Ambitious new documentaries on forgiveness—featuring a bus massacre survivor who chose mercy over revenge—and the hidden world of device-addicted children
Fred and Reggie share the grit, scrappy beginnings, and “on-spec” hustle that turned small-town cameramen into award-winning producers. They reveal the secret sauce behind packaging personal passion projects into Emmy-worthy documentaries—and how they’re now taking those stories on the road to inspire real change.
If you believe stories can transform lives, this is your insider pass to the raw conversations, the unseen struggles, and the fearless forgiveness that prove sometimes the hardest tales can heal us all. Tune in and discover why every “finished” film is really just the beginning of a new chapter.
