In 2002,...</itunes:subtitle><itunes:summary><![CDATA[Erik Aude is an American actor, stuntman, writer, restaurnteur, and professional poker player who was arrested and imprisoned in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pakistan" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Pakistan</a> for 3 years for alleged <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_trafficking" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">drug trafficking</a>. In 2002, Erik was persuaded to carry leather samples from Pakistan to the U.S., unaware of the fact that the suitcase given to him also had opium sewed into the lining. While in prison, Erik was forced to endure torture, constant threats on his life, bounties on his head, and a severely corrupt legal system with little to no help from the outside.  <br /><br />Erik tells Mark all about his harrowing journey from first flying over the Pakistan, being sentenced to 7 years in prison, getting tortured for information he didn’t know, having to fight for his life, learning both the language and the Pakistani legal system, becoming a lawyer, and using his hard work and determination to not only fight for his own case, all while maintaining his innocence, but also help others who were in prison with him.    <br /><br />Erik’s book - <i>3 Years in Pakistan: The Erik Aude Story </i>is available on Amazon  <br /><b></b><br /><b>For more on Erik Aude:</b> <b> </b><br /><b></b><br /><b>BOOK: </b><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Years-Pakistan-Erik-Aud%C3%A9-Story/dp/B0D1YFHP5X" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.amazon.com/Years-Pakistan-Erik-Aud%C3%A9-Story/dp/B0D1YFHP5X</a>   <b>MOVIE: </b><a href="https://tv.apple.com/us/movie/3-years-in-pakistan-the-erik-aude-story/umc.cmc.2yv13jm62shrthxkmqcps0ppb" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://tv.apple.com/us/movie/3-years-in-pakistan-the-erik-aude-story/umc.cmc.2yv13jm62shrthxkmqcps0ppb</a>  <br /><b>INSTAGRAM: </b>@erikaude  <br /><br />Watch full episodes of BonfireTalks on Youtube:  <a href="https://mailto/@BonfireTalksPodcast" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Youtube.com/@BonfireTalksPodcast</a>  <br />And follow the show on all social media channels @BonfireTalksPodcast]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>4162</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/11a6949fd10641371a218c4c59497748.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>022: Muse Era’s Nicole Koch</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/022-muse-era-s-nicole-koch--59911551</link><description><![CDATA[Mark welcomes Nicole Koch to the show for this week’s episode of Bonfire Talks.
