Transcript from ‘2 Para Battle For Goose Green’ podcast
Nigel – We had 20 odd prisoners but the heavy arms firing hadn’t died down they were still mortaring Darwin hill. They were still mortaring our positions eith artillery and then they flew in special forces in Huey’s and a couple of Chinooks. Then with these prisoners, these two Pakaras came around and didn’t attack. They came back again about 10 minutes later and they one of them dropped Napalm! They dropped a Napalm bomb and it actually dropped about 20 meters from me, well I’d say about 15 meters from me.
The momentum went away from me and missed the prisoners, but it singed me and it singed a couple of the other guys, so that’s how close it was. That combined with John Knox telling the Argies where we were, just made us enraged. What the hell are they doing dropping Napalm? This is fucking crazy you know, it’s outlawed.

A Good Death…With No Questions Asked | Jacqui Deevoy | #269
A good death…with no questions asked, features Jacqui Deevoy, who is investigating the euthanasia program, operating in NHS hospitals.
A Good Death…With No Questions Asked
Jacqui Deevoy is a freelance journalist who has spent many years writing for major British newspapers. Around two years ago she began investigating how a banished euthanasia program had returned to British hospitals, coinciding with the onset of 2020’s global medical crysis. This program includes greatly increased use of the respiratory depressant drug midazolam.
Transcript from ‘A Good Death’ podcast
Jacqui – You can get 14 years as a jail sentence if you commit euthanasia or involuntary euthanasia. A more interesting thing that came to me. The more I realized that it wasn’t just elderly people and it wasn’t just terminally ill people in my group. I set up a Whatsapp support group for all the people that were coming to me and I’m adding to it weekly.
The people who were killed, were not terminally ill and they weren’t old. I’ve got four or five people in the group, whose relative or loved one were in their 50’s.

Dr David Jackson is a former Royal Marines Signaller who served in both Northern Ireland and the Falklands War. He is part of the award-winning play, Minefield, which has successfully toured the world, including Argentina.
Transcript from ‘The UNTOLD Falklands War’ podcast
Dave – I saw this advert and decided that’s what I wanted to do. I sort of gave up on education. I just did the the minimum and I always joked that I got a low level in geography CSE grade one, so I could read a map in the marines. That’s always been my sort of narrative about my school experience. So I joined two weeks after my sixteenth birthday in 1974. I didn’t want to be carrying heavy weights, so I decided I fancied being a signaller and I went on to do an RS course.

Transcript from ‘3 Para In Northern Ireland’ podcast
Stuart – I was waiting to go to Somalia with Vice and then that changed. We were then going to go to Nigeria. I had about 500 pounds worth of inoculations in my arm from this Harley street clinic. Going nowhere, so I wrote this radio play called, ‘Pig’s Disco’. It sort of started because 1990 was a really full-on year. A lot of stuff happened and then we were on Christmas party guard duty at the palace. Anyway one of the senior guys from from the platoon was going, have you ever tried any acid?

SAS Rescue & Taking Back South Georgia | Mick Eivers
Michael Eivers is a veteran of the Royal Navy and served aboard the HMS Antrim during the Falklands conflict. Mick’s detailed account goes into the rescue of SAS troopers during a whiteout, taking out the Argentine submarine, Santa-Fe and dealing with damage onboard his ship.
Transcript from ‘SAS Rescue & Taking Back South Georgia’ podcast
Mick – We took them almost up to Ascension island and then transferred them all to other vessels. Then they were going to be repatriated via Uruguay and once we’d carried this out, we then joined up with the main task force. I’ll tell you something now that they come into play later. On the upper deck it was warm so we must have still been around Ascension. I remember looking up and I could see this Vulcan bomber flying overhead. I thought it was part of the task force.
Not knowing anything about black book missions and I only found out about all that later. We we’re heading back down to the Falklands and some of the ships had already been down there. They had been firing on Argentine positions, naval gunfire support, that that sort of thing. Probably inserting Special Forces for reconnaissance and eventually told that we were going to escort the main landings.
