Show Notes

In this episode we explore the remarkable life of Mehran Karimi Nasseri — born in Iran, studying in England, losing critical documents, and spending 18 years living in Charles de Gaulle Airport. We track how he carved out a life on red plastic benches, declined legal offers, clung to identity, and inspired films like Lost in Transit and The Terminal. What parts of his life became legend, and what remains painful truth? Stay with us for the arc from 1988 to 2022 — the offers, the refusals, the final return. Then we chat with Magician, Joan DuKore.
