    Ep. 2 Ken Behr: Confessions of a Drug Smuggler
    Feb 8 2026
    In this episode of One Life | One Story, Ken Behr shares his first-hand account of life in the American drug trade, active from the 1970s through the late 1980s. What began in his teens grew into large-scale marijuana and cocaine smuggling during the height of the war on drugs.Raised in rural New Jersey, Behr’s life shifted after moving to New Orleans and losing his father. A later move to South Florida placed him at the center of major smuggling operations. He recounts the pressure, violence, and illusion of control that defined the life, and the moment it collapsed when he faced a possible 25-year federal sentence. The second half of the episode follows his cooperation with the DEA and the difficult process of rebuilding a life after it nearly disappeared.Ken Behr is the author of One Step Over the Line: Confessions of a Marijuana Mercenary, where he documents his time in the drug trade and his cooperation with federal authorities in greater detail.Ken Behr Official Websitehttps://onestepovertheline.comBook: One Step Over the Line – Confessions of a Marijuana MercenaryAmazon (Paperback, Kindle):https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B6X8N6RZAudible (Audiobook, narrated by Ken Behr):https://www.audible.com/pd/One-Step-Over-the-Line-Audiobook/B0B6X7JZJ7Direct Audio / Digital CopiesAvailable via checkout on the official sitehttps://onestepovertheline.com(Promo code mentioned in the episode: 1STEP100) If you have a story you’d like to share, email:onelifeonestorypodcast@gmail.comGuest Form: https://forms.gle/EXNN3r6Qmm2Ke96D7Support & ResourcesIf you’re listening to this and struggling with drugs, or if someone close to you is, help is available.

  • Ep.1 Living Alongside Dementia

    Ep.1 Living Alongside Dementia
    Feb 1 2026
    In the first episode of One Life | One Story, Callum shares the story of growing up alongside his Nan Joyce as she slowly disappeared into dementia. What begins as a childhood filled with long walks, seaside trips, Christmas traditions, and family gatherings gradually turns into confusion, fear, and grief as dementia takes hold. Callum speaks honestly about watching someone he loved change piece by piece, the emotional toll it took on him as a teenager, and how that experience shaped his adult life in ways he did not understand at the time.

    This episode is about love, loss, and the quiet damage that dementia leaves behind, not only on those who suffer from it, but on everyone who loves them.
