In GOBSMACKED! The Podcasts: Ordinary People With Extraordinary Stories, Catherine weaves her own gobsmacking moments into a tapestry of stories, featuring the 13 remarkable guests who graced the inaugural year of the Gobsmacked! Podcast.

These are not celebrities or high-profile figures; they are ordinary people with extraordinary tales to tell. From navigating the treacherous waters of terrorism and counterterrorism to gangland revenge killings, from heroic endeavours to the sheer determination to live against all odds, these guests share their experiences and the wisdom they’ve mined from the darkest corners of their lives.

As Catherine’s podcast unfolds, we follow her on a journey to discover whether, by grabbing the gauntlet and taking more risks, she fulfilled this audacious prediction.

This book is a compelling exploration of the human spirit, resilience, and the profound connections that can be forged through sharing our vulnerabilities and stories.
