A Chance In The World Revisited

The Pemberton Podcast Produced by David Alexander

What happens when your child asks the one question you’ve spent your whole life preparing to answer?

In this powerful new series, author and speaker Steve Pemberton revisits the deeply personal story behind his bestselling memoir A Chance in the World. Blending new reflections with never-before-shared memories, Steve takes listeners beyond the book—uncovering the moments of resilience that shaped his journey.

Through the eyes of his children, the rediscovery of a long-lost case file, and a single childhood photo that changed everything, Steve explores how we make peace with the past, heal generational wounds, and build the families we always longed for.

If you’ve ever felt out of place, overlooked, or wondered if your beginnings define your endings—this podcast is for you. The Pemberton Podcast reminds us all: we each deserve a chance in the world, and we each have the power to give one.
