Show notes

Michael Finkel is a renowned journalist and bestselling author, who has embarked on daring adventures for his reporting, including skiing down Mount Kilimanjaro, getting arrested on a Haitian refugee boat, and joining a cult in Colorado. He's experienced extraordinary incidents like being in a tank-run car in Afghanistan, climbing into a Congo volcano, and crossing the Sahara on a truck. His impactful work has graced prestigious publications like National Geographic, GQ, and The New York Times Magazine. Unexpectedly, his path intertwined with a murderer who assumed his identity, inspiring his memoir "True Story," later turned into a movie starring James Franco and Jonah Hill, produced by Brad Pitt.
