Episode description
I sit down with Professor Arnold Dix, the 'nerdy' Australian flower farmer, barrister, scientist and engineer who saved 41 people trapped in a collapsed Indian mine, capturing the world's attention.
You can find Arnold's memoir 'The Promise: How an Everyday Hero Made the Impossible Possible' at all good book stores.
