Coming 7th October...
From Naomi Channell, TV producer, journalist, and host of the hit true crime podcast REAL, comes a brand-new series that proves the most extraordinary stories aren’t always about crime… they’re about life.
In REAL LIVES, Naomi sits down with people whose experiences are stranger, wilder, and more moving than fiction.
From a victim of a bigamist to a Dunblane survivor, the UK’s first commercial surrogate to a woman jilted at the altar, and even a death doula who helps people face the end — these are stories of resilience, heartbreak, survival, and reinvention.
Twisting, gripping, and deeply human, REAL LIVES invites you into the moments that changed everything. These aren’t just stories. They’re real lives.

John Comerford was raised in a home where he felt happy, safe and loved. But when he went to high school, his teacher took those feelings from him.
He was physically and sexually abused by his teacher and it changed his life forever. After he left school, he was left with the emotional scars and deep routed trauma that made him want to take the life of the man who had caused him so much pain. So he loaded a shotgun and made his way school...
In this episode, John tells us his story and how, after his journey of healing, he has helped many other victims of child abuse.
This is REAL LIVES.
