About this listen

Selema Masekela steps into the blast radius with British bomb disposal expert Kim Hughes - a former Sergeant and recipient of the George Cross medal, one of the UK’s highest honors, for what was described as the greatest single act of bomb disposal in Afghanistan. Kim breaks down what it truly means to choose to put your life on the line to save others, the dangerous God complex he developed, and the all-consuming buzz of walking down a road toward something that could erase you in a second.
