About this listen

Many movies claim to be 'based on a true story', but how much truth actually makes it onto the silver screen?

Whilst one of us queries the less believable moments from the film, the other takes a deep dive into the fact behind the fiction to educate us and answer… is that really how it went down?

    Jul 8 2025
    Listen to me, listen to me! I'm the captain now... This week we return to the country of Somalia and explore the daring efforts of the pirates that boarded the Maersk Alabama in 2009. Not only did this event make waves in the future safeguarding of cargo ship personnel, it also inspired the ship's captain to document his ordeal in a memoir hot on the heels of Columbia Pictures' acquisition of the rights to his story. But did Richard Phillips actually take all the necessary precautions? How old were the pirates that seized control? And if you attended a talk on pirates, what would you wear..? Joing us to find out on That's Not How It Went Down!

    'All About Eve' (1950)
    Jul 1 2025
    Fasten your seatbelts. It's going to be a bumpy episode… as we take a look at the best picture winner from 1950. Regularly lauded as being one of the greatest cinematic triumphs in Hollywood history, this is a tale of paranoia, subterfuge and ageing. It's no secret that age plays a huge part in the career of all actors, but just how much of this story of an ingenue usurping her idol is actually true? Did Margo invite Eve into her inner circle? Did Eve betray her by attempting to become her understudy? And why did someone threaten Bette Davis' "moustache"? Join us to find out on That's Not How It Went Down!

    'Nyad' (2023)
    Jun 24 2025
    Insanity can be defined as doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Perseverance is defined as a persistence in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success. But when that 'delay' is 30 years and the 'difficulty' is a cocktail of jellyfish, sharks and tidal forces, does the latter drift towards the former? Diana Nyad stopped at nothing to achieve her goal of swimming from Cuba to Florida but what scuppered her previous efforts? How does the 'shark shield' work? And why is there such debate in the open-water swimming community regarding this achievement? Join us to find out on That's Not How It Went Down!
