No one is prepared for disaster. No one knows how they’ll react in a plane crash, an earthquake or when a lone gunman decides to open fire. On Mayday we tell you about the people who had to find out.
Hosted by me Maya Nalani and Luke Welland. A production by Qast.

30-year-old Eddie Justice hears bangs over the music. Like many others at Pulse Nightclub, he and his friends don’t understand where the sound is coming from. Maybe it's just part of the music. But then reality begins to sink in. That’s not music. Those are gunshots. Eddie and the other guests at Pulse have no idea they’re about to experience the worst terrorist attack in the US since 9/11.
The hosts of this episode are Maya Nalani and Luke Welland. The script is written by Erika Ansén. Sound design: Viktor Persson. Mayday is produced by the podcast company qast.

The Holodomor
All the animals have gone. There are no birds singing in the trees, no cats playing in the streets. When Vasyl returns home after a failed hunting trip, the family dog is nowhere to be seen. And there’s a strange smell coming from the kitchen. Only one of many nightmares people had to live through because of the Holodomor, the artificial famine in Ukraine.
