Hey there, Shankar.
Here, during the credits of every episode of Hidden Brain, we take a moment to thank an unsung hero.
Someone who's not on the staff of the show, but has helped us out immensely and deserves recognition.
Over the years, many people have written to us to say they love this segment.
Recently, we asked listeners to share their unsung heroes with us.
Hi, Shankar.
I would like to talk about my heroes.
My unsung hero would definitely have to be my hero.
I am so grateful for this unsung hero.
Hey, I wanted to share my story about an unsung hero.
I can't even express to you how much you've changed my life.
Thank you.
Thanks.
Thank you.
Today, we thought we'd bring you one of the stories we received.
In 1997, April Oswald was in her early twenties.
She was on a road trip from California to Colorado with her boyfriend John and their two dogs.
About midway through the trip, in a town called Lovelock, Nevada, which is really kind of in the middle of nowhere, I was driving, and it was an suv, and I flipped the car, and the car went, like, back over front for about 100 yards.
I undid my seatbelt, got out of the car, started yelling for him, and then completely collapsed.
Now, it was freezing temperatures, probably something in the twenties.
