Reel Stories

Ever wondered if truth is stranger than fiction?

Reel Stories is the show that blurs the line between fact and film, reality and illusion, real and REEL... See what we did there? Good that, innit?

Each week, filmmakers; Rowan and Tom will each tell a story, and the other must guess if it actually happened or is simply the plot of a film.

Prepare for bizarre historical facts, unbelievable true stories, and the occasional cinematic deep cut.

Did a bear really fight in WWII? Was someone actually terrorized by beavers? Has someone survived not 1, but 2 atomic bombs?

Find out about all of this and more, each week, on the Reel Stories podcast!
