Away Days Podcast is an episodic documentary series focused on unreported stories from the fringes of society. We’re compassionately documenting the underground without watering it down or editorially obscuring it. This is independent journalism with no filter. Real, raw, and ugly. Journalist Jake Hanrahan, the host and creator of Away Days has spent the last 10 years embedded in places he’s not meant to be. With unique access and a straightforward style of on-the-ground reporting, the listener will be taken deep into the places they didn’t know existed.

    On Patrol With Favela Security
    Jul 7 2025

    Security in the favelas is impoverish young men with guns, who’re untrained and unscrupulous. We went on patrol with these armed foot-soldiers at the higher, more impoverished levels of the shanty town.

    There we saw a different side to the favela, one of precarious living and environmental degradation.

    Luta Livre in the Heart of the Favela
    Jun 30 2025

    We want to see what life is like for the civilians of the favela. So far we've only been around armed foot-soldiers and serious gang members. What we find in the heart of the favela is more incredible than we ever expected.
