What's it like to die?
If you're gonna die, you don't want to die alone.
“Over the years, I've reported on people whose lives were changed forever in a single moment.”
Actors. Everything was collapsed in my lung, and then I'd like no way to get aired. There's like this breath, as I could suggest everything. Professional athletes.
It was just, "Hey, I'm gonna get mine. I'll never protest it. I'll never check a D."
Public figures. The trigger is yours. The bullet. Yes. And ordinary people suddenly pulled into a nightmare.
Essentially, if your photo was on the internet, it could happen to you.
A moment that arrives without warning. I heard a giant enormous boom in blast. I didn't know if I was alive or dead.
“We know the headlines, but what I've always been curious about is what happens after?”
That's when the rest of the story begins. We have people try to send bombs to our house. I got to get back to my family. He's sitting down for this podcast. Is this part of your road back? I hope so.
And what does it take to move on?
“I wanted to turn my life into something a little bit more meaningful.”
I'm Lester Holt, and this is before and after, a new podcast from date line. My conversations with Jeremy Wanner, Colin Cabronard, Gabby Giffords, and more, premiering on Monday, September 14. Early access for date line premium subscribers begins Monday, September 7th. Follow and subscribe now wherever you get your podcasts. Hi, I'm Kate Snow, NBC News Anchor, and host of the NBC News Podcast The Drink.
This month, I'm sitting down with actor, writer, producer, Brendan Hunt. Most of you know him as coach-beard from Ted Lasso, but there is so much more to his story. We sit down, we talk about all of it from his bumpy upbringing, to his years in improv comedy, and how a Hollywood rejection opened the door to co-creating Ted Lasso. It's an open, funny conversation about perseverance, creativity, and the winding road that brought him right here.
We hope you'll join us for the drink, listen and follow wherever you get your podcasts.
