We're always told that we can't control when we'll die. But what if we could? When her grandmother passed away, Ellen expected the grief, the mourning, the emptiness. She didn't expect the police. She didn't expect the media. She didn't expect INTERPOL. 

Contact Mic returns with an episode about breaking the rules, about deciding how to live your life, and how to end it.

Episode 12 - December 2016 - Rule-Breaker - This Month in Your World - Ellen Hookey

Being a thirteen-year old Indian neoclassical dancer involves a lot of sacrifice. It takes your mornings, your evenings, your weekends. It takes you away from your family. It takes focus, pain, concentration. But it gives, too. It gives strength, precision, a way for young women to process sexuality and passion. It gives community. And it gives something sacred: a place where men cannot enter. A place away from abuse. Contact Mic returns with an episode about being frozen by fear and learning to move again.

Imagine you're driving along a freeway at 200 kilometres an hour in heavy rain. You can't see a thing. Now, imagine that you have what feels like two toilet paper rolls strapped to your eyes. Also, you're in a helicopter, flying just above treetops, in the dark. Welcome to the Australian Army.

Contact Mic returns with an episode about the freedom of flight, the restriction of rules and the power of duty.
