Introducing Wanted - Escaping Thai Prison

With the recent influx of new listeners, I wanted to take this opportunity to introduce you to another one of my shows that I’m extremely proud of — WANTED. It’s a show where I interview men and women who are, or have been, wanted by authorities from around the world.Today, I bring you Part 1 of my chat with David McMillan.David McMillan has lived a life that is almost unbelievable — it’s like something straight out of a Hollywood crime thriller.Born in the UK to Australian parents, David travelled back and forth between the two countries a few times until, at the age of 10, his parents divorced. He, his sister, and his mother then made the permanent move to Melbourne.David was always different as a kid. He was expelled from school for trying to make a batch of LSD — perhaps a sign of things to come.At eighteen, David got a job at a city cinema where, by chance, he met some retired safe crackers — men who were looking to invest their money into the drug business. With no one else able to source it for them, David jumped in headfirst, changing the course of his entire life.He went on to make millions of dollars before an Australian task force swooped in, leading to him spending 10 years in maximum security prison in Victoria. Once released, David decided he was done with Australia and left for the UK — with a stopover in Thailand. It was a decision that would see him arrested again, this time facing the death penalty.Just two weeks before he was due to be executed by firing squad, David did something no other Westerner had ever achieved — he escaped.Get a copy of David's book hereOne Minute Remaining LIVE in Melbourne get your tix now Join the One Minute Remaining Jury via Appl + HERE and get OMR early and ad free for as little as $1.69 a week!Become a Jury member on Patreon and find us on Facebook here.
