Life is a journey of extremes - incredible highs and heart-wrenching lows - moments of achievement, celebration and happiness that can be snatched away in an instant. NOVA Entertainment announces the launch of the new podcast, The Worst Day of Your Life, featuring real stories of extraordinary people, who refuse to let disaster permanently change their lives and strive to help others change their lives for the better.

Award winning journalist, smoothfm’s Glenn Daniel, shares intimate conversations with people thrown into life’s worst moments through no fault of their own, only to emerge to do life’s best in the new podcast The Worst Day of Your Life, launching on Tuesday 11 May.

Incredible Australians tell the story of the worst day of their lives, some of the voices will be known, some will be new, but each one will take you on a journey you will never forget:

  • Gwen Cherne – the Defence expert who lost her military husband to suicide now campaigning for the care of veterans
  • Leila & Danny Abdallah - the couple heading a national campaign of forgiveness after losing three of their six children to a drunk, drugged and speeding driver
  • Patrizia Cassiniti - the woman driving workplace safety on building sites after a scaffold collapse killed her son
  • Shane Fitzsimmons - Australia’s disaster management expert driven to the point of quitting by a personal tragedy who now leads recovery for others
  • Jo Abi - the mother let down by experts when her son wanted to die, restores his passion for life and helps others facing the same situation
