As a kid at home reading National Geographic, Jodi Biers found an article about smoke jumpers – women who jumped out of helicopters to fight wildfires. Jodi knew that she’d found her calling. But when her firefighting crew suffers a catastrophe, Jodi’s life spun out of control and she ended up in prison, and – she thought – stripped of her firefighting role forever. Special Guest Stephanie Foo, author of, “What My Bones Know: A memoir of Healing from Complex PTSD,” joins us in the studio to talk about interviewing people in traumatic environments. This episode mentions suicide. Please take care while listening.

Om Podcasten

Amika Mota was a young mother, a midwife, and the daughter of a feminist icon. One night she caused a fatal crash that would separate her from her family and brand her as a criminal.  Trapped inside prison, looking for any way out, she gets the call to join an all-female crew of incarcerated firefighters. When the alarm sounds, they drive out into the community on fire trucks as heroes – pulling bodies from crash scenes, saving lives and fighting fire. Every call brings her the chance to reclaim the world she lost.   Follow Fire Escape on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.
